Abstract

The objective of This article is to understand the reasons which urge the Ivory Coast companies to practice the creative accounting. By means of a qualitative approach focused on the interviews, it seems that the main reason is the minimization of the tax. Furthermore, companies are taken to practice the creative accounting to obtain bank loans, to face the competition and to meet the requirements of group.
