Intellectual capital (human, client, organizational) today plays a special role in the business results, business value creation, influence on strategic business models, and, therefore, new types of companies united by a wide umbrella of innovative companies. Naturally, companies are interested in fixing such capital in their reports - such are called non-financial. However, in order to present such non-financial information to the public, companies need to assure this information or audit the non-financial reports

Studies of the methodology and practices of the audit (assurance) of non-financial capital include: the need for audit in companies and organizations, the development of methodology and practices, the comparison of information from a normal external audit and an audit of non-financial reporting, the use of an audit of non-financial reporting for internal strategic management of the company and external stakeholders.

In this project the group of participants will study expert and analytical material on the type of companies that are most interested in the audit of non-financial reporting; the amount of intellectual capital of companies for the audit; existing methods and practices of financial and non-financial audit and the development of new, improved approaches, and will work with Deloitte (Big-4 company) to obtain relevant data.
