The results show that the disclosure of derivatives instruments does not meet in a complete way the information set out in IAS 32 and IAS 39. From 45 items surveyed, it was found that the average disclosure of companies in 2006 and 2007 was five items evidenced, increased to 17 in 2008, showing that firms only increase the disclosure number by regulatory institutions imposition.
