Abstract
The article discusses the problematic aspects of materiality assessment in the financial statements audit. The understanding of essentiality is the key to the accounting methodology, reporting financial statements and audit. The practical examples of the definition of essentiality are also represented. The methodology, which will promote the expression of substantiated auditing opinion, to define the essentiality is suggested, as well, that, in turn, will ensure the fulfillment of the international audit standards and the confidence building in the audit report.
