It begins with a brief historical journey through the main aspects that characterize the globalization process and its implications, finally boarding the express train of technology, which has projected it into a new world with no frontiers, focused now on international cooperation which is aimed at satisfying the needs of the different players in the economic process. It presents the emergence of what is referred to as financial globalization, and consequently, accounting globalization, and in this setting, accountability is presented as an accounting discipline in the process of developing its own social esponsibility. This has been evolving and changing in step with man’s needs for information, to enable him to take the appropriate financial and economic decisions in any environment and at any time, to carry on his business in an atmosphere of trust in a new global context.
