Abstract
This aim of this report is to assess the
accounting and financial auditing standards and practices in
Burkina Faso in the private and semipublic sectors, using as
benchmarks International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and
taking into account the good practices noted in the
international sphere in these two areas. The main objective
of this assessment is to make recommendations aimed at
strengthening accounting, financial auditing, and financial
transparency practices in the private sector and semipublic
enterprises in Burkina Faso. The development objectives
associated with these recommendations are as follows: (i)
stimulating private investment and enhancing the
competitiveness of enterprises; (ii) improving governance in
the private market and semipublic sector; and (iii)
achieving greater integration of the Burkinabe economy at
the regional and international levels.
