financial statements (e.g., date of the balance sheet).

Iron curtain approach - Answers An approach to making materiality judgments that quantifies the total
likely misstatement as of the current year-end based on the effects of reflecting all misstatements
(including projecting misstatements where appropriate) existing in the balance sheet at the end of the
current year, irrespective of whether the misstatements occurred in the current year or previous years.
For example, if expenses were understated by $20,000 in the previous year and $45,000 during the
