Abstract

This study analyzes convergences between the profile of Accountancy students and that required by employers in the town of Uberlândia-MG due to the fact that the notion of competences is guiding the definition of the current professional profile in the organization. The aim of this article is to verify common grounds between the profile indicated by graduating Accountancy students and the profile wanted by employers of these professionals. The results point to characteristics which are common to the profile of Accountancy professionals wanted by employers, and the profile indicated by the graduating Accountancy students. The results also show a few divergences between competences and abilities.
