Accounting and auditing is closely related to the quality of data. Two important elements supporting the quality of information are internal controls and materiality. Internal controls are perhaps the most important element, as they ensure that information used for management purposes has the required quality. The level of controls should be guided by the need for reliable information. These considerations are linked to the concept of materiality.
