Sumario:Due to the implementation of new accounting standards in Colombia, many questions arose about their effects on the financial information of organizations. In particular, this research focuses on the telecommunications sector due to its great impact on society. A sample of 24 companies in the sector was taken and the financial indicators of 2014, based on COLGAAP, were compared with the data for 2015, prepared on the basis of the new accounting standards. Results show that financial effects are not significant for the sample analyzed. It is important to develop analytical tools for the analysis at more disaggregated levels and for specific cases.
