EBRC and Knowledge@Wharton
The Enhanced Business Reporting Consortium (EBRC) and Knowledge@Wharton, the online research and business analysis journal of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, have decided to join hands to study key issues in, among other things, business reporting, key performance indicators, tangible and intangible assets. EBRC and Knowledge@Wharton will conduct surveys and produce Podcasts on these topics beginning in early 2008.
The EBRC members believe that if the members of WICI Promoting Parties and Participating Parties, including the members of the Society for Knowledge Economics, were to participate in this research project, it would greatly enhance the quality of our findings. In order to be notified when the surveys are launched, we invite you to register for free membership of Knowledge@Wharton at the following link: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/signup.cfm

This presentation, from the Institute of Chartered Accountants' Conference on May 15, 2007, addresses this issue and reviews the 'drivers of change', international responses, the effects of measuring and reporting on intangibles; and how the future might look.
