Abstract

[fre] Les normes comptables fournissent des outils permettant d'évaluer la situation financière des entreprises. Mais encore faut-il que l'image obtenue soit fidèle à la réalité si l'on veut assurer le respect des intérêts des différentes parties prenantes de la vie de l'entreprise. Dès lors, on perçoit l'importance du contenu de ces normes et de la maîtrise de leur détermination. Si l'on veut comprendre l'évolution actuelle de la normalisation comptable, il convient de montrer quels en sont les acteurs et de mettre en lumière ses enjeux. Or, la nature juridique de certains des acteurs soulève des interrogations sur la légitimité des normes produites. Si le processus de normalisation comptable se caractérise notamment par une multiplication des organismes, celle-ci n'empêche pas l'harmonisation des normes. Tout l'enjeu réside alors dans l'adoption ou non, de l'ensemble des normes ainsi définies, par les États. . Classification JEL : K2, M41 [eng] International standardisation of accounting : its players, its legitimacy, its stakes. Accounting standards provide tools making it possible to evaluate the financial position of firms. However, if one wishes to ensure respect for the interests of the various interested parties in the life of a company, it is necessary that the image obtained be true to reality. Hence, the importance of perceiving the content of these standards and of gaining mastery over their determination. If one wishes to understand current developments in accounting standards, one need only show who the players are and bring up questions as to the legitimacy of the standards that have been produced. While the process of standardisation in accounting is characterised, among other things, by an increase in the number of organisations, this does not hinder the harmonisation of standards. The entire stake thus lies in adopting or in not adopting all standards thus defined, by the States. . JEL classifications : K2, M41
