Abstract

Cette communication a pour objectif d'appréhender les difficultés rencontrées par les PME congolaises à l'aube de la mutation comptable PCGC/OHADA et les facteurs qui les causent. L'enquête par questionnaire mené auprès d'un échantillon 99 PME opérant dans la partie Ouest de la RD Congo a permis de mettre en évidence deux faits saillants suivants : (i) la mutation comptable PCGC/OHADA s'implémente avec difficulté en contexte des PME. Ces difficultés sont plus ressenties lors des travaux d'inventaire (application difficile de la convention de la prééminence de la réalité sur la forme), dans la tenue des livres comptables (tenue manuelle, traitement approximatif des opérations sur la TVA) ainsi que dans la confection de certains tableaux de synthèse (notamment le TAFIRE); (ii) les facteurs de contingence structurelle (la taille de l'entreprise et son organisation comptable) et les facteurs de contingence comportementale (les profils de dirigeants et de teneur de livres comptables) se révèlent significativement comme étant les causes de ces difficultés.
