18 May 2011 Hi,

Our company has recently opened Branch office in Singapore.

Untill now Accounting Standard (AS) 17 Segment Reporting was not applicable since Companys operations consist
of providing Software Development and IT enabled services to company offices located at USA,UK,Japan i.e. within Group.

I just wanted know whether Accounting Standard (AS) 17 Segment Reporting is applicable due to Branch office in Singapore.

As the market conditions where branch office is located are different from market conditions prevailing in India and foreign branch is exposed to exchange risk also. Therefore, needs arises for business segment reporting
