Abstract

La vulnérabilité des commissaires aux comptes vis-à-vis des dirigeants sont des sujets qui alimentent actuellement la chronique en Afrique subsaharienne et plus particulièrement au Cameroun. C’est dans cette perspective que notre étude s’ambitionne de vérifier si la qualité d’audit dans cette contrée de la planète ne serait-elle pas attribuable au manque d’incitation liée aux honoraires. En s’appuyant sur les analyses de classification et économétriques par la méthode de la régression logistique sur les données recueillies par questionnaire auprès de 40 cabinets d’audit au Cameroun, les résultats montrent que la qualité de l’audit peut s’expliquer par les honoraires incitatifs. Plus spécifiquement, ce résultat montre que la probabilité d’avoir un audit de qualité est d’autant plus grande lorsque les honoraires d’audit sont négociés à la hausse et d’autant plus faible, s’ils sont négociés à la baisse.
