This study addresses the association between the principles of corporate governance and the factors of organizational learning in Brazilian accounting firms. Primary data were obtained by electronic questionnaires with a final sample of 207 offices. This is an exploratory, descriptive study, carried out in a field environment and classified as quantitative. The degree of corporate governance obtained at 11.70 indicates that the adoption of the principles of corporate governance is in an intermediate stage and the degree of organizational learning obtained at 8.20 demonstrates that the environment is conducive to organizational learning in the accounting offices. As the degree of corporate governance evolves, naturally there is a potentialization of organizational learning factors, such as dialogue, interaction with the external environment, experimentation and risk propensity. Among the main findings of this research, it is highlighted that there is a positive relationship between the adoption of the principles of corporate governance and the factors of organizational learning (r=0.244). When the levels of transparency of information in the accounting offices increase, there is also an increase in the level of fair and equal treatment between partners and stakeholders (r=0.621). As the use of dialogue increases, as a form of learning, there is an increase in interaction with the external environment (r = 0.776) and when suggestions and new ideas are well attended and accepted the use of dialogue as a construction of common knowledge also increases (r=0.722).

The audit report is the result of the work of the independent auditor, in which he expresses an opinion on the company's financial statements. That said, the present study had as its general objective: to analyze the audit reports on the financial statements of the companies listed in B3 for the 2019 financial year.

The object of the study is the independent audit reports on the financial statements of publicly traded companies with shares traded on B3 for the year 2019 issued until March 2020, the total of which reports refer to 403. It was found that the most of the reports with unmodified opinion and with qualified opinion were issued by Big Four firms. On the other hand, opinion abstentions were issued, for the most part, by non-Big Four firms. It is also worth mentioning that 230 of the 403 audited companies are from the Financial, Cyclical Consumption and Industrial Goods sectors. However, only the Communications, Health, Information Technology and Others sectors were the only ones in which there was no modified opinion. Investigations by public authorities, the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base and the uncertainties related to operational continuity motivated a considerable part of the reservations. In addition, judicial recovery and uncertainties related to operational continuity were the most frequent basis for abstaining from opinion.

Specifically, what we wanted to investigate was whether these types of certifications, mediated -as institutions- for the hiring of the labor market of accounting services, and what was the level of efficiency they offer. To achieve this, surveys and a focus group were made to professionals in the area. Based on the theories of neo-institutional economics and phenomenological methodology, the collected data were analyzed. The results pointed out that the IFRS Certification, in Colombia, is not an institution yet, since it does not help to reduce the asymmetry of the information and the uncertainty about the competencies of the accounting professional.
