| Research Abstract |
Corporate diversification has taken place at an unprecedented rate in recent years. Some of this diversification arose from the development of new technologies and new products ; much, however, came through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Segments reporting is conducive to making sound decisions regarding companies whose component activities differ in terms of growth, profitability and risk.
The aim of this study is analyse disclosure of segmental information in annual reports in Japanese companies.
Summary of results drawn from this study are as follows :
1. With some exceptions, disclosure of segmental information in financial statements is not found.
2 Most of segmental information is disclosed in non-financial section of annual reports.
3 No serious opposition to disclosure of segment sales is found, but opposition to disclosure of segment contribution to prtofit and segment expense is strong.
