I enjoyed the content training provided on segment reporting. It was great to see the difference between operating and reporting segments. It did make me wonder what the percentage of revenue of the segment I work for is to the whole. I know we are a reporting entity so must be at minimum 10% of the pie.

Fairly crisp overview of segment reporting disclosures. Good refresher of reportable segments vs all other segments, including threshold guidance. Emphasizes the importance of identifying the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). No video, but outline seemed sufficient for digesting material.

Kelen's publication on Segment Reporting was straightforward and clear. It would be better if he added some audio / visuals to his presentation, but this was satisfactory.
