Abstract

The Public Accounting in Colombia is a liberal profession that is in charge of legitimating processes of accounting information. It is therefore necessary to clarify what is the function in Colombian accounting practice of concepts such as public interest, public faith and public trust. This is to understand the nature of the public interest in social accounting practices in Colombia.

Consequently, in view of the panorama of the generalized crisis of trust, it is presented an approximation of the mentioned concepts in order to understand them in their essence and then interpret them in the context of the accounting profession in Colombia, since the various scandals of corruption, financial crises and business frauds highlight the need for professionals and students to take a proactive role, which will only be possible insofar as they understand “the public” from ethics and social conscience
