Abstract

The globalizing dynamics have contributed to the generation of significant changes in the competences, abilities and specific characteristics of both the aspirants and the accounting professionals of the country, with a particular propensity to "feminilize" and feminize the profession; in that order of ideas, Yannoulas (2011) defines "feminilization" as the increase in the number of women in a given profession or occupation, while feminization focuses on the changes that these increases generate in perceptions, stereotypes, as well as in the value of the profession or occupation (Lemos, Barufaldi, & Paulo, 2015). These aspects encourage the study and analysis of the two concepts in the Colombian context. Based on the foregoing, this research proposal aims to identify the incidence of the International Education Standards [IES], occasionally IES 3. Initial Professional Development - Professional Skill and IES 4. Initial Professional Development - Professional Values, Ethics, and Attitudes) in the "feminilization" and feminization of the accounting profession, in the City of Bogotá between 2001 and 2015 (International Federation of Accountants [IFAC], 2017), with the purpose of evidencing whether IES have contributed to delineate the accounting profession national.
