Performance Materiality
This query is : Resolved

Hello experts,
In SA-320(Revised), Materiality in Planning and Performing An Audit, a new term, viz., "Performance Materiality" has been introduced.
The formal explanation for the term is as follows:
"Planning the audit solely to detect individually material misstatements overlooks the fact that the aggregate of individually immaterial misstatements may cause the financial statements to be materially misstated, and leaves no margin for possible undetected misstatements. Performance materiality (which can be one or more amounts) is set to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements in the financial statements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole. Similarly, performance materiality relating to a materiality level determined for a particular class of transactions, account balance or disclosure is set to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements in that particular class of transactions, account balance or disclosure exceeds the materiality level for that particular class of transactions, account balance or disclosure."
But, this language is too difficult to understand the meaning of that term. So, it would be a great help if any of you could explain this in simple terms.
Thank You
