Unleashing the hidden value: The power of intangible assets
Intangible assets, such as trademarks, brand reputation, and intellectual property alike, are increasingly becoming the primary drivers of corporate value. The importance of intangible information reported by entities cannot be overstated, as it provides valuable insights into a company’s operations, competitive advantage, and long-term growth potential.
Join us for an informative session with Dr Eric Lee, Head of Research at the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), and Dr Ao Li, AASB Manager, as they provide an update on the latest discussions around accounting and reporting related to intangible assets. In addition, the audience will have the opportunity to provide feedback on best practices for disclosing intangible asset information by entities.
Participants may be able to apply 1 hour towards meeting their annual continuing professional development obligations. It is the individual's obligation to determine relevance of CPD to their license conditions. Please see our terms and conditions and privacy policy.
