NOTE 21 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company reports segment information based on the various industries the Company operates and how the businesses are managed. These businesses are aggregated into operating segments in a manner that reflects how the Company views the business activities. The Company’s businesses are operated by separate local management and certain of the Company’s businesses are grouped together when they operate within a similar industry, comprising similarities in products and services, customers, and production processes, and when considered together, may be managed in accordance with one or more investment or operational strategies specific to those businesses. The Company’s five reportable segments reflect the way the Company is managed, and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The individuals comprising the role of CODM are the Company’s two Co-Chief Executive Officer’s and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who collectively use segment operating income or loss as a measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The segment information the CODM regularly receives does not include asset information and does not use segment asset information to assess performance or allocate resources. Accordingly, asset information is not provided by reportable segment. The measure of assets is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.Revenues by segment represent amounts earned on the various services offered within each reportable segment. Our significant operating expenses regularly provided to the CODM and used to assess segment performance and determine the deployment of capital are classified as employee compensation and benefits expense, professional services, occupancy-related costs, other selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring charge, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Employee compensation and benefits expense consists of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, incentive compensation payable as commissions and cash bonus awards, and share based compensation for equity awards. Occupancy-related costs consists of office rent, technology and communication costs, and other
