چکیده:
The accounting and auditing profession is related to one of the most sensitive issues concerning members of society, namely individuals' wealth and assets. Mistrust from business owners is a plague for accounting systems and the profession. We know that the existence of professions such as accounting and auditing is a consequence of economic activities and investments, and without them, these activities will not take shape. Business owners are considered the drivers of the economic cycle; therefore, gaining their trust in using the auditing and accounting profession is the duty of all accountants and employees in this profession to ensure the future of the accounting profession. Thus, the future of the profession depends on having values of integrity, honesty, and expertise. In conditions where the accounting profession has not yet been able to achieve a position, especially among statesmen, an increase in mistrust toward accountants for any reason or cause will have a destructive role in the sustainable development of the profession.
