The problem of materiality of information is related not only to audit, but also to financial, economic and managerial activities, including organization and maintenance of accounting, financial reports, analysis of an entity. The level of materiality of the information, including the materiality of deviations of the actual values of indicators from the specified parameters, predetermines the risk of uncertainty in making managerial decisions and decision-making processes as a whole. “Materiality” is unique for each entity or Group of Companies that generates IFRS reporting. That is why IFRS does not provide specific quantitative thresholds or clear rules for their determination. However, provides the qualitative factors that should be considered when assessing materiality: • Whether the misstatements allow demonstrating the compliance of the company's activities with financial forecasts - own, market, made by rating agencies or other independent analysts; • Whether the misstatements enable it to demonstrate compliance with regulations, debt or credit covenants, or other contractual requirements; • Whether misstatements convert net loss to net income or vice versa; • Whether misstatements affect key ratios or other disclosures in the financial statements to which users pay special attention; • Whether misstatements affect the size of bonuses for key management personnel; • Whether or not the segment disclosures are misstated; • Whether misstatements affect the disclosure of transactions with related parties. If a misstatement is intentional to achieve a particular disclosure option, then the misstatement is considered material, regardless of the amount. This is because the entity expected such misstatement to influence the decisions made by users of the financial statements.

Subject. The article considers ratings of banks' reliability. Objectives. The aim is to evaluate the accuracy of existing methodology for bank reliability assessment based on official reporting, to identify patterns between indicators and factors that can affect the financial sustainability of a bank. Methods. The study draws on the comparative analysis of key indicators of bank's financial statements one year prior to the introduction of provisional administration, and evaluates the results of existing methods for analyzing the financial standing of banks. Results. The findings show that those methods that use only official reporting to assess the reliability of banks are not sufficient for short-term forecasting of financial stability. Ratings of the majority of agencies that rest on official reporting have a high percentage of erroneous results, therefore, rating agencies are not able to predict the regulator's decisions regarding a credit institution. Conclusions. Currently, there are no universal methods to determine reliability, which would provide a correct forecast of deteriorated financial position of the bank. It is important to use a systems approach, where financial reporting is not a key component.
