Abstract

Cet article aborde la problématique de mesure de la notion de compétence dans le domaine de l'audit comptable. Un examen du processus de son apprentissage permet de discuter à propos de son impact sur l'audit. Pour statuer, cet article se base sur les résultats d'une étude qualitative menée auprès de 20 experts comptables tunisiens chefs de cabinets d'expertise comptable et d'audit. La compétence de l'auditeur comptable est liée à l'accomplissement de missions compliquées. Le degré de structuration du cabinet peut favoriser ou freiner le développement de la compétence de l'auditeur. Le chiffre d'affaire, l'effectif et la qualité de l'organisation du cabinet peuvent constituer des mesures fiables de la compétence de son propriétaire individuel ou des associés.
