which means it will depends on terms and conditions of the
situation.

Materiality ref to The transaction which can influence the
decisions of users of financial statements.

another situation.

in such transaction is material.

Even though one particular transaction is also material
eventhough it doesnt involve a small fund balance depending
on the nature of such transaction and the the manner in
which it is going to influence the decisions of users of
financial statements.

material in aggreage with other transactions.


So the auditor should excercise his professional judgement
to decide the materiality considering the facts and
circumstances of eacha and every transactins.
