What is an Intellectual Capital Statement? An Intellectual Capital Statement is a report on the evaluated Intellectual Capital (IC) of an organisation and incorporates current, finished and planned measures to ameliorate it. The ICS measures elements of the Intellectual Capital and allows for an efficient management of these intangible resources. The ICS provides a structural account of the IC to clients, investors and the public and creates transparency and trust. DIT SMEs Forum and V INSME International Conference 20-23th of April 2009
