Abstract EN

This article aims to study and explain theoretically and empirically the portfolios of accounting policy choices adopted by Algerian companies through the positive accounting theory (Watts and Zimmerman, 1978) and institutional theory (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983).

Both Casta and researchers Remond (2009) argue that managers use this area of freedom, in a legal framework to shape the form and content of financial statements.

The empirical analysis of 68 Algerian public and private companies has led us to confirm that accounting choices are influenced by the executive compensation system and normative pressures consultants and audit firms.

Abstract FRE

Cet article vise à étudier et à expliquer théoriquement et empiriquement les portefeuilles des choix de méthodes comptables adoptés par les entreprises algériennes à travers la théorie positive de la comptabilité (Watts et Zimmerman, 1978) et la théorie institutionnelle (DiMaggio et Powell, 1983).

Les deux chercheurs Casta et Remond (2009) affirment que les managers utilisent cet espace de liberté, dans un cadre licite, pour façonner la présentation et le contenu des états financiers.

L'analyse empirique de 68 entreprises publiques et privées algériennes nous a amené à confirmer que les choix comptables sont influencés par le système de rémunération des dirigeants et par les pressions normatives des consultants et des cabinets d’audit.
