IFRS Taxonomy 2020 – Illustrative examples

Operating Segments

Examples from IFRS 8 (IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5 and IG6) representing some of the disclosures required by IFRS 8 for operating segments using block and detailed XBRL tagging.

Description of the types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues

Diversified Company has five reportable segments: car parts, motor vessels, software, electronics and finance.   The car parts segment produces replacement parts for sale to car parts retailers.   The motor vessels segment produces small motor vessels to serve the offshore oil industry and similar businesses.   The software segment produces application software for sale to computer manufacturers and retailers.   The electronics segment produces integrated circuits and related products for sale to computer manufacturers.   The finance segment is responsible for portions of the company’s financial operations including financing customer purchases of products from other segments and property lending operations.

Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that pension expense for each operating segment is recognised and measured on the basis of cash payments to the pension plan.   Diversified Company evaluates performance on the basis of profit or loss from operations before tax expense not including non-recurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

Diversified Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, ie at current market prices.

Factors that management used to identify the entity’s reportable segments

Diversified Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.   They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.   Most of the businesses were acquired as individual units, and the management at the time of the acquisition was retained.

(a)  Revenues from segments below the quantitative thresholds are attributable to four operating segments of Diversified Company.   Those segments include a small property business, an electronics equipment rental business, a software consulting practice and a warehouse leasing operation.   None of those segments has ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.

(b)  The finance segment derives a majority of its revenue from interest.   Management primarily relies on net interest revenue, not the gross revenue and expense amounts, in managing that segment.   Therefore, as permitted by paragraph 23, only the net amount is disclosed.
