This chapter aims to discuss the role of professional accounting associations and orders

in relation to the current context of accounting training. It is intended، with this، to broaden

the discussion about the performance of these professional entities، since they are placed as

of public interest. Its work with the universities، aiming to interfere in the training process

of future professionals، whether by the application of evidence of access to the profession

or by direct and indirect influence in the construction of the curricular contents intended

to form the accountants، must be thought openly and free of ideological load. Thus، it is

considered important to analyze the aspects of the relationship between universities and such class entities، in order to know if there is a disinterested relationship or if، on the contrary، the university is influenced by professional accounting associations and orders، in percussion of their selfish interests.

Keywords: professions، accounting، associations and professional orders، universities، accountants.
