Discuss how a segment is defined in the country

Reference no: EM13647503

Segment reporting has been required in the US since 1976, and the requirements for U.S. based companies have evolved over many years. The IASB has worked with the FASB in recent years to reduce the differences between the US standards and standards for the international community.

While the differences in reporting have been reduced, segment reporting is still not required in some countries and is reported differently in others. For example, a difference exists in many countries for the definition of a reportable segment.

For this assignment, discuss how a segment is defined in the country you have been researching(JAPAN). Also, analyze the segment information in the annual report that you are using for your final Project(JAPAN) Whata are the requirements for this company? Is the company following U.S. Standards International Standards, or the standards of their home country? DOes the company meet requirements, and is transparency evident in the notes to the financial statements? Discuss the differences that exist between the disclosures for your company using their current annual report versus what would be required if the company used U.S. GAAP.
