GMAA NSW Breakfast June 2012: Intellectual Equity - Balancing your Intellectual Assets and Liabilities

Wednesday 20th  June 2012

"Intellectual Capital Equity - Balancing your Intellectual Assets and Liabilities" Speaker: Dr John Dumay, Senior Lecturer Sydney Business School Where:  Aurora Bar, Aurora Place, Cnr Phillip & Bent Sts, Sydney Timings: 7.45am to 9.15am Cost: $35 financial members, $45 non-members, $30 students Cooked breakfast, coffee and juice Registrations Online Registration Link

John’s talk will introduce participants to the topic of Intellectual Capital (IC). IC is of interest to both scholars and managers in their attempts to understand how value is created inside organisations by leveraging knowledge and intangible (intellectual) assets that do not appear on the balance sheet as opposed to financial capital and other tangible assets that do. 

Over the years research and practice has established IC as an interesting and worthwhile topic of investigation as well as creating a plethora of frameworks for measuring, managing and reporting IC. However IC reached a crossroads of relevance as few companies have actually implemented IC practices. 

John proposes that a fundamental problem why managers and accountants don’t understand and utilise their organisation’s IC is because it is framed in a language unfamiliar to managers. Therefore one path beyond the crossroads is to frame IC from the lingua franca of business - accounting. 

John goes not only considers the value of intangible intellectual assets but also considers intellectual liabilities to determine the residual value of intellectual equity.
