Melissa Moore is an auditor. Her work at two companies disclosed inappropriate recognition of revenue. Both cases involved dollar amounts in the $200,000 range. In one case, Moore considered the item material and required her client to restate earnings. In the other case, Moore dismissed the misstatement as being immaterial.

Required
Write a memo that explains how a $200,000 misstatement of revenue is acceptable for one company but unacceptable for a different company.
