In Brazilian business and accounting contexts, the term 'itens insignificantes' is commonly used during financial audits and reports to refer to minor discrepancies or small amounts that fall below materiality thresholds. In the USA, this phrase is standard in accounting and legal documentation. The concept is important in auditing standards (IFRS and GAAP) where materiality thresholds determine what items require detailed examination.
