Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of accounting data produced after the revision of the OHADA accounting system on the decision to grant bank credit to Cameroonian companies.Methodology: qualitative approach was used in this study.& We conducted semi-structured interviews with eight credit analysts in eight banks based in Cameroon. We used the Nvivo 10 software to carry out the content analysis.Findings: It emerges from the analysis of the content of the speeches collected that the most used ratios by credit analysts are: activity ratios, debt ratios, operating ratios, financial structure and autonomy ratios, debt ratios and net cash. In addition, the information provided by the new accounting system is increasingly fluid, detailed, and precise and facilitates decision-making. However, when it comes to the completeness and sincerity of the information provided, analysts remain wary because, companies always provide information subjectively based on their interestsImplication: This study reveals that despite the revision of the accounting system, users still remain wary face of informations provided because of its subjective nature. It is therefore recommended that Member States promote unified information for all stakeholders.&
