Spanish term or phrase: forma desagregada
This appears in a proposal for auditing services from an accounting firm to a Uruguayan bank that was considering acquiring another bank. One of the firm's objectives was as follows:

"Obtención de información sobre dependencias significativas ***en la forma más desagregada posible***, en la medida que sea producida por el banco, conducente a efectuar un análisis de rentabilidad por dependencia."

breakdown / broken down
Explanation:
I understand it as synonymous of 'desglose', in this contxt meaning 'as broken-down as possible' or alternatively, 'as itemized as possible..'

(In Lat.Am. both desagragar and desglosar are used to mean 'breakdown' - as in a breakdown list, breakdown of expenses etc.)
