A company decides to disclose CLOUD-BASED REVENUE separately even though it is < 5% of total revenue (other revenue streams of similar size are aggregated into "other revenue"). The rationale is:
AThe reporting is incorrect — sub-5% revenues should always be aggregated
BThe cloud business reflects a strategic intent communicated to stakeholders; growing rapidly; separate disclosure provides DECISION-USEFUL information per Ind AS 108 segment reporting
CCompanies must disclose every individual revenue stream above 1% of total revenue
DOnly listed companies can disaggregate revenue below the 10% threshold
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The cloud business reflects a strategic intent communicated to stakeholders; growing rapidly; separate disclosure provides DECISION-USEFUL information per Ind AS 108 segment reporting
Materiality is also about NATURE (qualitative), not just size (quantitative). A strategically important growth area — communicated to stakeholders, rapidly growing — is material from a USER-DECISION-USEFULNESS perspective regardless of being only 5% of revenue today. Ind AS 108 segment reporting may require separate disclosure if the segment is reported internally to KMP; even outside segment reporting, voluntary disaggregation in revenue notes supports transparency.
