This paper aims to explore the national standards that have been developed by some countries in order to solve the problems of registration and evaluation of units of carbon in the financial statements in their own territory, as well as to present a case study based on local regulations. This case study will show that accounting diversity can have a serious impact on the decision-making capacity of external users (shareholders, lenders, suppliers, regulators, etc.).
