Abstract

The new challenge of Higher Education in Chile is to develop competencies, where universities are called to achieve this goal. This is the case of the University of La Serena (ULS) and its Audit Career, where the present study seeks to evaluate by the employers, the development of professional and transversal competences in 27 students from 2014 cohort, who made their Professional Practice in 2017.

This study responds to a quantitative approach, a non-experimental design and a transversal descriptive research, where as a result of an applied survey, a positive evaluation is observed in the development of 11 out of the 13 considered competences. Where, cross-disciplinary competences, averaged 3.35 points and professional ones 3.71 points out of a total of 4.0 points, allowing inferring that although most of the competencies were well evaluated, attention should be paid to adaptation to change and to autonomy and personal initiative
