Are you ready for FRS 108 Operating Segments?<br />
FRS 108 FRS 14<br />
Identification of segment Considers that a component of<br />
an entity that sells primarily or<br />
exclusively to other operating<br />
segments of the entity meets the<br />
definition of an operating segment<br />
if the entity is managed in that<br />
manner.<br />
Measurement of segment<br />
information<br />
Disclosures Specified Items<br />
Gives more discretion in defining<br />
segment information, limited only<br />
by an entity’s internal reporting<br />
practice. The entity is required to<br />
provide an explanation of bases<br />
used and perform reconciliation<br />
between the segment information<br />
on an aggregate basis (of all<br />
reportable segments) to the<br />
amounts reported in the financial<br />
statements.<br />
Requires the disclosure of specified<br />
amounts about each reportable<br />
segment, if the specified amounts<br />
are included in the measurement<br />
of segment profit or loss or are<br />
otherwise regularly provided to<br />
the chief operating decision maker<br />
(“CODM”), even if not included in<br />
that measure of profit or loss.<br />
Interest Income and Expense<br />
Requires the disclosure of interest<br />
income separately from interest<br />
expense for each reportable<br />
segment unless a majority of the<br />
segment’s revenue are from interest<br />
and the CODM relies primarily on<br />
net interest revenue to assess the<br />
performance of the segment and to<br />
make decisions about resources to<br />
be allocated to the segment.<br />
General information<br />
Requires the disclosure of the<br />
entity’s products and services,<br />
geographical areas and major<br />
customers, regardless of the entity’s<br />
organisation, if the information<br />
is not included as part of the<br />
disclosures about segments. Such<br />
entity-wide disclosures are required<br />
even when the entity has only one<br />
reportable segment.<br />
Limits reportable segments to<br />
those that earn a majority (>50%) of<br />
their revenue from sales to external<br />
parties and does not require the<br />
different stages of a verticallyintegrated<br />
entity to be identified as<br />
separate segments.<br />
Requires segment information to<br />
be prepared using the accounting<br />
principles adopted for the financial<br />
statements of the entity.<br />
Segment information is therefore an<br />
analysis of the entity’s information<br />
disclosed in the financial statements.
