16.2.11. Segment reporting
The Company’s operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions that leverage technology thereby enabling clients to enhance business performance. Accordingly, revenues represented along type of service comprise the primary basis of segmental information set out in these financial statements. Secondary segmental reporting is performed on the basis of the geographical location of customers.
The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and expenditure in individual segments. These are as set out in the significant accounting policies
The only segment by service type is consulting services. Hence the Company does not have a primary classification of segments.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments is categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of the costs are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as ‘unallocated’ and directly charged against total income
Fixed assets used in the Company’s business or liabilities contracted have not been identified to any of the reportable segments, as the fixed assets and services are used interchangeably between segments. Accordingly, no disclosure relating to total segment assets and liabilities are made.
Customer relationships are driven based on the location of the respective client. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and Mexico and Rest of the World comprising all other places except, those mentioned above and India.
Geographical revenues are segregated based on the location of the customer who is invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized
