Thls research analyses the relation between the standard of segment information (interpretation of accounting standards 50-87) and actual disclosure of company accounting information. The results are as follow.
First, in the United States, before SFAS14 was set up as a accounting standard, the accounting standard was enacted as a fruit of compromising conflicts among institutions representing the interests of keepers and users. The debate regarding segment information started as a means to regulate conglomerates in 1970's. In the 1990's, however, the issue has changed such a way that the AIMR has influenced the revision of SFAS14 to some extent.
Second, despite of potential conflicts in the result of the question are and conflicts nationwide, institutions concerned have maintained cooperative and supplemental relation unlike the United States, especially the board of accounting has established the standard as a gradual way considering companies' capacity in book keeping.
Third, due to adopting the hypothesis that as a result of interpretation 50-87 selected requring the level of higher stage similar to SFAS14 the level of disclosure would be lower, proved the fact that there is certain correlation. The 90 percent of the disclosure information of disclosed companies consist of sales, profits, assets, depreciation, information.
