Abstract:
In the first half of the 20th century France, consultants offered their services to big firms, sometimes successfully. In a somewhat cloudy economic context, some of them, like Bedaux or Perrin, elaborated more ambitious social projects, in order to cope with the economic disorders. All those projects failed. L’Etat, pour assurer sa quiétude quant à l’établissement de l’assiette fiscale, formalisera alors une profession comptable libérale connue aujourd’hui sous le titre d’expert-comptable.
