Abstract

L'indépendance de l'auditeur est un sujet d'intérêt croissant depuis les affaires Enron, Wordlcom, etc. De nombreuses réglementations ont cherché à la renforcer en modifiant certaines composantes (facteurs) de l'indépendance. En se basant sur les travaux de recherches empiriques du domaine, notre recherche vise à identifier les facteurs d'indépendance et leur impact sur l'indépendance réelle ou perçue. Cette première étape nous permet de proposer une grille d'analyse des facteurs d'indépendance, tenant compte de leur maîtrise respective par l'auditeur et l'audité. Dans un second temps, nous nous intéressons plus spécifiquement à la mise en relation de ces facteurs, aboutissant ainsi à une proposition originale de système d'indépendance, permettant une meilleure compréhension de l'indépendance de l'auditeur.
