IASB consults on proposed improvements to IFRS 8 Operating Segments

The International Accounting Standards Board (the Board) has today published proposed improvements to the IFRS Standard coveringoperating segments, IFRS 8, for public consultation.

IFRS 8 Operating Segments was issued in 2006. It sets out the disclosure requirements for information about a company’s operating segments, products and services, as well as about the geographical areas in which it operates and its major customers.
