This research raises the issue of how statutory auditors and social auditors perceive the changes—both ongoing and desirable—in their missions, skills, and methods, aimed at preserving or reinforcing their status as trusted third parties at the service of the company. It uses a qualitative methodology that is both exploratory and original, based on a survey and semi-structured interviews. It reveals the diversity of factors that are modifying the conditions under which accountancy professionals operate. These factors are institutional (the proliferation of regulations and standards, the increase in mandatory audit thresholds), technological (the emergence of AI and blockchain) and organizational (the multiplication of internal and external controls, audits, and verifications).
