Abstract

The objective of this work is to present the mechanisms and to argue the importance of the monetary update of the values in the financial statements to its analysis. A synthesis of the main techniques of construction of the index numbers will be presented. Also will be identified its intrinsic applications and problems to its use. The monetary update consists of bringing values of diverse dates for an only point in the time, had as a base, excluding the effect of the inflationary component in the variation of the prices. This conversion is of great importance in the financial statements analysis, to bring up to date the financial ratios obtained in such analyses and to prevent distortions, which can generate wrong information mistakes on the part of the analysts and/or decision makers. Since that the used forms of indexation prior to the Real Plan had been revoked by the government, the research looked to detach the distortions generated by this measure.
