The biggest changes in recent years have not only taken place in technology, but have also involved social sciences as well as strategies in a changing world for companies. These changes have demanded a new attitude on the part of stakeholders not to be left behind in the new concepts of a modern society based on success and based on simplistic and complex techniques, where lies the initiative that organizations must adapt to these concepts, to experience constant and rapid changes.

Therefore, as a result of globalization, they lead to think of a change in the way of recognizing the possibilities of generating more training and generation within the business, where there are elements of competencies in reference to the management of financial and necessary information.

It should be noted that in the search for these changes, the information must be increasingly useful, truthful and reliable, which is why the IFRS for SMEs (International Financial Reporting Standards for small and medium-sized companies) were created, with the purpose of reinforcing the bases that support accounting theory, seeking to improve and harmonize accounting practices; with the sole objective of being global standards that are of high quality, understandable and of mandatory compliance, transparent and comparable in the financial statements.
