Análise comparativa entre a visão dos estudantes ingressos no Curso de Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) e a dos guias de profissões sobre o perfil profissional do contador

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the characteristics of the accounting job from the perspective of the Job Guide and the students with the intent of encouraging the convergence of information, and then make a comparison between the two sides. The present work is classified as qualitative, descriptive, bibliographical and documentary. A survey was carried out through the application of a questionnaire to 60 students from the 1st to 3rd semesters of the undergraduate course in Accounting Sciences of the Federal University of Ceará. Subsequently, 3 Job Guides relevant to the educational environment were analyzed. The data were processed using the word cloud formation technique. With regard to the objectives achieved, it was found that despite the specific differences, such as the importance of the professional being organized, cited by the students and the strategy, denoted by the Job Guide, both sides agree that the accountant must have knowledge about financial management, tax planning and economic control of the entity to which it belongs, endowed with responsibility in its actions.
