ID:

Abstract:
This paper analyses the profile of accountants required by the job market in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre (RMPA - Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre). Bivariate and Multivariate Descriptive Statistics techniques are used to analyze 939 public job offers collected during the period from January to September 2007 in Zero Hora newspaper and on a professional re-placement site called Manager. Analysis of job offers shows a search for professionals with a broad set of competencies, but indicates that there is a high demand for candidates with prior professional experiences and knowledge involving “Financial Accountancy, Company Law and Tax Law”, and this group of competencies is identified as the one most valued by the employers. It is concluded that the
idea predominates in the region that accountants are technical professionals sought after to perform functions that are closer to the one characterized as “book-keeper”, and not the “business partner” described in the literature.
