Abstract

In this chapter examines the perception of accountants in the State of Mato Grosso, from Brazil, on continuing professional education on IFRS applied to small and medium enterprises - SMEs. After the introduction, where we present this chapter, we contextualize the theory of human resources, with theoretical assumptions. In the next item, we revise of Brazilian accounting standards for SMEs and their regulatory environment. The literature review is completed with the item that addresses content on continuing education. The next step we present the methodology and the date analysis. To collect the evidence, we used questionnaires to accountants responsible for active financial services companies in the State of Mato Grosso. With a sample of 302 responses from a population of 1597 organizations, a descriptive analysis using frequency distribution, measures of central tendency and variability was performed. It is concluded that the perception of accountants indicates that they recognize the possibility of improvement in job performance, as well as greater employability and income. They still set regular level of difficulty in the submission of financial statements in accordance with the new standard: IFRS for SMEs. The study indicates the need to offer continuing education, pointing the Regional Accounting Council and universities as important promoters in the process of qualification of accounting professionals.
