The thesis analyzes the disclosure of intangible assets in technology companies in Europe, with particular reference to compliance with the financial reporting requirements of IAS 38. Following an overview of intangible assets and their disclosure according to IAS 38, the characteristics of the technology sector and the metrics for measuring business performance are defined. The empirical analysis focuses on the level of disclosure in selected European technology companies, with particular attention to the research methodology, sample selection, and the scoring system for evaluating the quality of disclosure. The objective is to determine whether greater transparency in the communication of intangible assets is associated with better financial results.
