In Colombia, tax inspections are solely conducted by public accountancy professionals, they aim to monitor economic entities by taking into consideration, among other factors: total coverage, permanent monitoring, and integral control of the organization. With this in mind, and with the purpose of strengthening some mission considerations proposed through a case study in cooperative enterprises in the municipality of Monteria in 2008, we carried out the research project “Work skills of tax auditors in cooperative enterprises in Monteria, Colombia”, in the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia at Monteria. The research is presented in this paper and was undertaken as a response to the strengthening and development of the functions of public accountants, established in Law 79 of 1998 and in the Codigo de Comercio Colombiano (Colombian trade code), decree 410 o 1971, article 207. This research allowed us to identify failures in the restructuration of the Public Accountantship undergraduate program. We also evaluated the compliance with the legal functions established by article 207 of the trade code and determined the level of accomplishment of the intervention strategies in terms of working skills.
