Abstract

Examining the link between structural contingency factors and accounting practices in a developing context is the aims of this study. A positivist approach adopted by self-administration of a questionnaire to 123 Cameroonian's small and medium enterprise (SMEs) is based on a hypothetical-deductive reasoning. The statistical processing conducted via an ordered " logit " model used to understand and explain the accounting practices in these institutions. If the industry seems to have a negative influence, ownership structure, debt and size effect play a crucial role in the development of accounting practices in this type of organization, as well as business behavior actors.
