CVM code

As the parameter suggests, it is also possible to use a vector with several companies (firms = c("VALE", "PETRO", "WEGE")) or you can use firms = "all".

quarter

If setted as NULL the function return a table with the principal accounts of all financial statements.

The format to this parameter is: "yyyy-mm". Example.: "2016-12".

In Brazil, some operations of a financial nature are calculated within the operating result, with many fundamentalist indexes.

In the future we intend to create functions that return the financial statements to international accounting standards.

getBalanceSheet getIncomeStatements

# There are two ultimate examples, The first is:
getFinancialStatements(c(4170, "CIA VALE DO RIO DOCE", "33.592.510/0001-54", "VALE"))
# That downloads the vale financial statements four times,
# One time for each kind of company information given.
# Notice that the function also accepts the name of the firm, unlike said in arguments section.

# The second example is:
getFinancialStatements("VALE", "2015-12")
# Here there are a difference in the output, the information looks much more like
# the original format that it's available in CVM's system. it's intentional,
# this is the original infomation. Use it if you need to.
