| kalps | I think the last choice is the most relevant answer although I would not necessarily say that it is the only true answer. |
| mtcfa | The last choice is true by definition. |
| Analizer | Materiality has a lot to do with "importance". None of the other answer choices has that word. Hence it is correct |
| TammTamm | Because it would have the greatest effect if the information was given to the public. |
| AUAU | Reasonable investors considered importance. |
| Gooner7 | 'materiality' has nothing to do with who divulges info/how it was attained. it has to do with the content of the info itself |
| raffrobb | Material is relevant to the usefulness and impact on an investment decision rather than how acquired. Seems more the nature information and how pertinent or influential on a decision. Content seems to be the operative word, as pointed out by Gooner7. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
