Companies were analyzed new market, level 1 and level 2, since these have a high level of corporate governance and a greater level of detail on the financial statements users. In addition, it was examined whether the opinions of the independent auditors regarding the companies that did not comply with the requirements of the CPC 01 (R1). The research methodology was classified as qualitative, descriptive and documentary, seeking to verify 143 companies, of these 17 recognized losses or reversals and were of analysis on the disclosure of impairment test. It was concluded that none of the companies analyzed disclosed fully all the requirements listed in the CPC 01 (R1).
