Abstract

El Escepticismo es una doctrina filosófica que en el ejercicio laboral contribuye a los profesionales de Contaduría Pública a adquirir un enfoque basado en la duda sobre la veracidad y consistencia de la información que deben revisar durante la realización de una auditoría. Dudas que lo lleven a corroborar cada soporte encontrado en el proceso y que le permitan tener las bases suficientes para emitir dictámenes financieros confiables. Este trabajo expone una revisión literaria que explora los elementos que influyen en el escepticismo profesional en los contadores públicos que ejercen como auditores. Esta investigación se realizó mediante un enfoque cualitativo de tipo descriptivo y exploratorio basado en literatura existente. En este trabajo se halló que la independencia, el sesgo personal y los conflictos de intereses son factores claves que mejoran o desmejoran el escepticismo profesional en la ejecución del encargo de auditoría.
