Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

Segments

Autodesk operates in one operating and reportable segment, the Company as a whole. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The description of Autodesk’s products and offerings and accounting policies are described in Note 1, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The measure of Autodesk’s segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Autodesk determined that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, serves as the CODM.

The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources, evaluating financial performance, and making operating decisions of Autodesk. Consolidated net income is indicative of financial performance and is monitored by the CODM. The CODM considers budget to actual comparisons of total net revenue and consolidated net income on a regular basis when assessing the operating results and making resource decisions to improve profitability. The CODM also uses the budget to actual comparisons of total net revenue and consolidated net income to make decisions aligned with Autodesk’s strategic initiatives and go-to market strategies and capital allocation priorities.
