The value creation generated from company’s intellectual capital has a major impact on company value and performance. The performance of intellectual capital in value creation (generating company’s capabilities which in turn increased the company’s performance) could assist investors and company’s management to visualize the importance of intangible assets.

MFRS increases the quality of financial information, transparency level and enhances the business information environment that could in turn improves company performance. Giving attention to knowledge management theory, this study examines the association between MFRS 139 adoption and intellectual capital performance and its components.

The empirical result indicates that the MFRS 139 adoption has a significantly positive effect on company’s intellectual capital performance.
