query on exposure draft 17 - operating segment

462 views 3 replies

 In some entities, some managers are responsible for different product and service lines worldwide, whereas other managers are responsible for specific geographical areas. The chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the operating results of both sets of components, and financial information is available for both. In that

situation, the entity shall determine which set of components constitutes the

operating segments by reference to the core principle.

 

core principal -

An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial

statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business

activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it

operates.

please frndz suggest me .....how i report ...

 

its very urgent ...

 

First you have to catogrise the business and geographical segment into primary and secondary segment for reporting purpose . This is based upon the dominant risk factor faced by the entity 

The best method to find out the reporting entity is limit method 

After findind out the reportable segment on the basis of limit method, u will report the segment as per AS-17

Example-

Let Business segmnet is ur primary segment and Goe segment is ur secondary segment 

then u report as follows:-

1) Primary segment

S. revenue

S.result

S.asset

S.liab

Capex

Dep*

N.cash exp*


2) Secondary segment

S.Revenue(location of customer)

S.assets(location of assets)

Capex(location of assets)


notes:-

1)*not required if u prepare cash flow

2) If u select Geo segment(loc.of custumer) as ur primary segment, then u disclose the 7 points for the same and in secondary disl. 

S.revenue(B.seg)

S.assets(loc. of assets)

Capex(loc. of assets)

3) If u select Geo. seg(location of assets) as ur primary seg then u discllose the 7 points for the same and in secondary disclosure 

S.revenue(B.seg.)

S.assets(location of cus.)

Capex(Location of cus)
