About this lesson
We'll cover the three key criteria that define an operating segment: engaging in business activities that generate revenues and expenses, having results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, and having discrete financial information available. This foundation is essential for understanding segmental reporting requirements and how to identify which parts of a business must be disclosed separately in financial statements.
