Résumé

This paper penetrates the relationship between the auditor and the auditee to focus on the reasons that can explain the decision by an auditor to comply with his client's proposals during an audit mission in dilemma situations. Embarrassing situations are obtained at the end of an exploratory study with the actors concerned, and by the use of the auditors' working papers. The data collected is then analyzed using the technique of interpretative analysis. The results obtained suggest the conformist attitude of the auditors investigated, mainly of compliance and newly revealed form in auditing, which is identification.
