Abstract: Despite of efforts which have been accomplished, the dynamic of international accounting standards harmonization is still characterized by a dichotomy between the continental pattern and anglo-saxon pattern, generally considered as dominant accounting patterns. Consequently, the position of ?peripheral accounting frameworks? vis-à-vis these dominant patterns, appears as an important issue. The aim of this paper is in this sense, to analyse the accounting framework in force in francophone black Africa countries since the beginning of this decade. The approach adopted consists in appreciating this accounting framework in comparison with pure accounting patterns from which dominant patterns are inspired. The main conclusion of the paper is that the accounting framework in force in these countries is not dominated, but that it tends to appear as a reconciliation of differences observed at the level of dominant accounting patterns
