Comment augmenter l'attractivité du métier d'audit externe auprès des femmes ?

Abstract

Western societies had to adapt itself to the social and cultural transformations due to the changes at all levels and the globalization of the society. Companies must therefore adapt to these changes in order to remain competitive. It is up to business leaders to adapt to these changes to meet the challenges of a growing society with ever-changing legislation. In addition, they must increase diversity and social responsibility within their companies. This thesis examines how women feel about being an external auditor and why they decide leaving their job to find another during their careers. In order to answer the question of how to increase the attractiveness of the external audit profession to women, this study is based on both theoretical data and on data collected from interviews with women working in the profession today. But also with women who have left the profession for various reasons. The results of the theoretical and practical analysis lead us to the conclusion that companies are doing their best to respect diversity within their departments. However, women stress the difficulty of reconciling private and professional life in this area. To do this, companies must put things in place to attract them and, above all, to retain the talents they train.
