I don't know about Brazilian or US accounting, but consider this "analogy":

Interesting. In what way does the Cobol language differ from C language (and other programming languages of the world)? Surely the basic concepts and entities of data types, control structures, variables,
etc are the same? What does the Cobol language look like? What parts of the C language do you find strange?

Note: Any analogy between the accounting models of Brasil and US and the Cobol and C programming languages is pure coincidence.
