Documentation: Disclosure of all significant reconciling items in the reconciliation of total profit or loss from reportable segments, to the entity's consolidated income before income taxes, extraordinary items, and discontinued operations.
Commentary: This disclosure uses a specific [Table] for information which is very similar to two other [Table]s (reconciliation of assets and reconciliation of operating income, reconciliation of other items). Yet the [Table] Statement [Table] is used on all three primary financial statements. Why is this not done consistently in both places?
