Abstract

This research is based on the main idea that manipulation of accounting data and fiscal fraud can be used as surviving strategy by small firms facing a repressive fiscal context. In relation with the particular case of Cameroon where empirical observations have been realised, two main conclusions need to be recall immediately. Firstly, as suggested by Watts and Zimmerman (1978-1990), Allingham and Sandmo (1972), the size can create incentive to manipulate accounting data and fraud. Secondly, the type of activity sometimes contributes to accounting data manipulation and fraud.
