Constant changes in the market have created the need of applying more reliable accounting information systems, in a way that the business language becomes increasingly generalized. XBRL as a standard language provides the possibility that the accounting and financial reports be read and understood in anywhere in the world, so that they have symmetry and are transparent in the reported information. A comparative study is carried out in this work, between the countries the most experienced in the application of this tool XBRL, and the Colombian case, the last with the aim of reflecting the advantage and disadvantages involved in the implementation of this tool. Finally, it is evidenced that the tool has been constituted more as a verification process for control bodies than as a standard language to decrease the asymmetry and transparency in the revelations.
