The disclosure of operational seg-ments in this study is proxied through quality and quantity, the use of 2 proxies to measure segment disclosure is expected to provide empirical evidence regarding which proxies are more appropriate for measuring disclosure of operating segments. This research uses quantitative design with compound regression hypothesis test. The object of this research is manufacturing company period 2011-2015, with total of 81 observation data. The data used in the form of annual reports of manufacturing companies 2011-2015 period listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange.
