The objective of this article is to understand the influence of environmental contingencies on the practice of management control in Cameroonian companies. The study is carried out on the basis of interviews with 09 company directors, belonging to different structures. It shows that management control practices can be influenced by: the size of the company, its sector of activity, number of activities, management style, manager profile, competition, environmental uncertainty And the management policy of Cameroonian companies.
