I don't know, you'd think joint ventures would have to report on their different segments, but I guess public companies are the ones that really have to spill the beans.

I thought joint ventures would have to report too, but I guess public companies have more transparency requirements.

Public companies, no doubt. They've got to keep their investors informed, don't they? Can't hide those juicy business details!

Definitely not not-for-profit enterprises - they have different reporting requirements. I think it's gotta be publicly-traded companies.

I'm not sure about that. I think joint ventures might also be required to report on business segments, as they involve multiple entities working together.
