These systems are permanently used by professionals in accounting, economics, finance, investments, and other related specialties. These tools are Reuters and Bloomberg, the latter being the one that has achieved significant technological development and international reach. Likewise, the main companies and institutions of Peru, both public and private, make use of these information systems for the processes of analysis, research, planning and decision making. In this sense, the application of Bloomberg in the teaching and learning process of the specific contents to the accounting, finance and investments courses has been used as academic innovation in the Accounting undergraduate program of Pontifical Catholic University From Peru. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to value the innovation made in order to know the opinions and collect the experiences of the students on the use of Bloomberg, and, at the same time, the recommendations as a result of the innovation made.
