Abstract: The purpose of the research is to obtain an overall image on the accounting professionals' opinions concerning intangible assets and capital. Out of the 111 accounting professionals who participated in the study, 55.86% consider that the traditional financial statements cannot capture the value of intangible assets, which leads to an increase in the information asymmetry, the solution being to focus, in the annual reports, on non-financial information. Over 80% of the respondents consider that, internally, the evaluation of intangible capital plays a very important role in strategy development and in creating innovation.
