What:

CFA Society Austria members are invited to a round table discussion to collaborate and consult on the topic of “intangibles” trying to understand how investors are or would be using information on intangibles provided by companies.

The discussion will provide input to an ongoing project to improve the usefulness of information entities provide about intangible items. In addition, the project aims to make the accounting more suitable for newer types of intangible items such data assets, cloud computing, or brands (IFRS - Intangible Assets). In a first stage, the IASB will assess user needs for information about intangible items and the expenditure associated with them in the financial statements.

Food & Drinks will be provided.

2 hours of CE/PD and MIFID Credits will be provided
