ICM aims to help organizations realize and re-discover their underlying intangible capital, also known as knowledge assets, which is critical to the company but rarely reflected on annual auditing or accounting statements. Examples include employee’s expertise, corporate culture, brand equity, customer relationships and information security, etc. IC reporting gives corporate a more systematic approach to identify and evaluate those knowledge assets on a regular basis.
