Abstract

Accounting is known as the language of business and, therefore, communicates information through general purpose financial statements. As a consequence of the technological advances, the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) arises, which allows users to consult the information and build it according to their needs. The objective of the investigation is to determine the consequences of the communication of the financial information of the companies, using the XBRL. Among the conclusions highlights that, although for the moment most of the companies do not have the necessary technological capacity, the XBRL has been erected as an alternative means to communicate information, facilitating the transmission of this in a clear and transparent way.
