In 2009, IFRS 8 replaced IAS 14 for operating-segment reporting. In spite of many criticisms (lack of homogeneity and comparability, risk of opportunistic behavior) related to the IFRS 8 management approach, the IASB considers that account users will get more useful segment reporting with this standard. This is due to the additional information that should be produced by a segmentation that more closely matches the business model of each group. However, studies show that segmentation remains relatively stable and the information reported per segment has significantly decreased with IFRS 8. In terms of improved informational content, we note that the few studies focusing on this issue do not reach a consensus.
