Dada a importância do profissional contabilista nas relações de negócios no contexto empresarial, é relevante observar o comportamento moral e ético destes profissionais nas relações com seus pares. O estudo objetivou analisar as principais infrações cometidas pelos contabilistas com registro no Conselho Regional de Contabilidade do Estado de Mato Grosso (CRC-MT) e as penalidades a eles aplicadas. Em relação a abordagem adotada a pesquisa caracterizou-se como descritiva em forma de levantamento. Para tanto, a coleta dos dados limitou-se as informações referentes aos processos transitados em julgados expostas no portal da transparência do CRC-MT no período de 2015 a 2018. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir do portal da transparência do referido conselho entre os meses de agosto e outubro de 2019. Os resultados apontam um total de 1.304 infrações cometidas, sendo que a Declaração de Comprovação de Percepção de Rendimentos (Decore) irregular corresponde a 23,54% do total de infrações. Quanto às penalidades, as multas e advertências reservadas foram as mais aplicadas. Ressalta-se, porém, que um processo pode resultar em mais de uma decisão, correspondendo a uma penalidade ética e outra disciplinar, como é o caso da multa e advertência reservada, respectivamente.
