As much as I read on materiality, I cannot understand tolerable error and SAD nominal amount, could someone please dumb this down for me?

Assuming this is PM and AMPT for my kpmg folks

PM is an amount by which FS line item can be off and it would still be materially correct.
We set TE at 50 or 75%, depending on error rate we are expecting. This is bc we dont rest 100% but rather on a sample basis. So you use TE to determine sample sizes. Smaller TE will result in more samples which makes sense bc if you are expecting more errors you need to test more samples.
SAD is much smaller amount. We use it to waive on individual differences. Basically any difference below SAD we disregard. But differences above SAD we want to track in our SAD schedule to see if they accumulate to material amount.
There are some nuances to it (i.e. for rep sample you extrapolate differences below SAD bc you are only testing portion of the population so you want to estimate the error rate in the entire population). But this is the logic behind it.

On an unrelated note- making acronyms that spell out negative emotions isn’t very bright now is it EY (talking to the firm). I’m getting SAD just reading this and it isn’t even busy season yet

Hi there, I got an offer for an early stage cyber security saas startup in Canada and they offered me 130k base and 10-15% commissions which they estimated at 160-240k additional a year. They only have 1 sales person at the moment and I would be 2nd and they are hiring for 3 more. I’ve always been on a 50:50 model and never done the % of revenue. Average deal size is 40k. I got 12 yoe in enterprise tech sales. No stock options upfront but potentially after the first 3 months. Good deal?

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
