This, in practice represented in the current account of the balance of payments, where the double-entry bookkeeping has an important role to control and monitoring, and the result is presented in the National Accounts, abundant information document which will be drawn. The negative effects or outflows that occur in an economy, should be studied and followed carefully, since, before an event of an uncontrolled outflow of capital, the economy would be seriously affected and therefore cause side effects such as economic stagnation, generating unemployment and rising inflation.
