(Pérez, 2009). Facing this reality, Colombia through Law 1314 of 2009, from 1 January 2010, begins the process of convergence to IFRS by delegating to the Technical Board of Public Accountancy (CTCP) and entity normalizer. Thus, for the accounting profession in Colombia is convenient to take a look at countries that have developed similar processes, such as the Mexican case. Since Mexico began this process since 2002 building its accounting regulatory body called FRS (Financial Reporting Standards in Mexico) without losing sight of the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board of Accounting).
