Abstract

Cet article présente deux comparaisons : le niveau d'éthique des commissaires aux comptes et des auditeurs de certification aéronautique français puis le niveau d'éthique et la capacité à révéler une erreur constatée. Nous avons utilisé pour cela la méthodologie du Defining Issue Test et des scénarii techniques. Les résultats montrent d'une part un niveau d'éthique similaire et, d'autre part, une capacité à révéler une erreur sensiblement différente, plus favorable aux auditeurs opérationnels. La relation entre les deux phénomènes est faible.
