Abstract

In Romania, the professionalization of accountancy, carried out by an elite formed by the schools of commerce alumni, leads to the adoption of one of the most favorable accounting laws in Europe in 1921. Thereafter, in the 1920s, in spite of a legally enforced monopoly, the elite of the professionals, organized as the Body of accountants, must continue its movement, because it is confronted with many difficulties: integration of certain categories of experts, definition of the field of expertise, competition with non-members etc. Its strategy evolves, especially due to the status change of accountancy, which becomes a genuine organized and recognized profession.
