This department was named “Intellectual Application” during the previous cabinets of IMAGAMA. But since in our opinion the name “Intellectual Application” is less able to reflect the purpose of the establishment of this department and as well as our working programs, and after a few considerations that will be described within the next paragraphs below, we eventually decided to change it into “Intellectual Development” at the beginning period of Tonggak Cahaya IMAGAMA 2016/2017.

In grammar, the word ‘application’ can be translated as the use or application. Unfortunately, even though accounting is included in a field of science, accounting itself is not included in ‘applied science’ because basically in our daily activities, accounting can only be used in a particular field. And yes, accounting can only be used in the case that concerns about financial problems.

In addition, the goal of the establishment of this department in our opinion is to facilitate and assist members of IMAGAMA in academic issues, namely the development of knowledge about accounting instead of focused on applying what we already know about accounting towards an innovation or new technology. Preparation of the working program as well as the delegate competition and IMAGAMA Study Club (ISC) reflect the objectives of this department as an aid IMAGAMA on the academic side. Therefore, we think ‘development’ will be more appropriate and suitable for the name of this department and in such a way, the name of this department was transformed into “Intellectual Development” (IDE).

Beside the change of the name, in this period there is also a change in the structure of this department; the department is divided into two sub-departments, namely Education and Research. This division aims to create a working environment that is more focused and effective. This also explains the scope of the Intellectual Development (IDE) department, namely academic development for the internal scope or Education, and science development in the field Research.
