L'obligation de prudence et de diligence compte parmi les obligations faites au professionnel comptable dans l'exécution de ses missions. Compte tenu de la probabilité et de la gravité des risques normalement prévisibles, le professionnel comptable doit prendre les mesures qu'il est raisonnable d'adopter dans les circonstances, à défaut de quoi il aura manqué à son obligation en faisant preuve de «négligence» ou d'«imprudence». 2, record 2, French, - obligation%20de%20prudence%20et%20de%20diligence

En France et en Belgique, l'ensemble des règles que doit observer le professionnel comptable dans ses missions d'établissement et de contrôle des comptes est connu sous le nom de «diligences normales».
