Working as a chartered accountant in France
Expert-comptable is a protected title in France. You must hold the Diplôme d'expertise comptable (DEC), obtained after the DCG and DSCG, a three-year professional traineeship and a thesis, and you must be registered with the Ordre des experts-comptables. Foreign accountants (ACCA, ICAEW, CPA and others) cannot use the title without recognition by the Ordre, which may involve an aptitude test. Statutory audit (commissariat aux comptes) is a separate regulated activity. Search for 'expert-comptable', 'expert-comptable stagiaire', 'expert-comptable associé' and, for profiles who do not yet hold the DEC, 'chef de mission expertise comptable'.
