Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2019 yılında Borsa İstanbul'da işlem gören imalatçı firmaların denetim raporlarında yer alan kilit denetim konularını etkileyen faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Borsa İstanbul'da işlem gören 164 imalatçı firmanın denetlenmiş mali tablolarından toplanmış olan verilerin analizi için Poisson regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Regresyon analizinin sonuçları, 4 büyük denetim şirketi arasında yer almayan denetim şirketlerinin daha fazla kilit denetim konusunu açıkladığını ve firma karmaşıklığının kilit denetim konularının sayısını önemli ölçüde arttırdığını göstermektedir. Kilit denetim konularının sayısı ile denetim görüşü arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamsız bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın, kilit denetim konularının farklı bir perspektifine önemli bulgular ekleyerek sınırlı literatüre katkıda bulunması beklenmektedir.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE DISCLOSURE OF KEY AUDIT MATTERS? EVIDENCE FROM MANUFACTURING FIRMS

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the factors affecting key audit matters disclosed by manufacturing firms listed on Borsa Istanbul for the accounting period of 2019. Data are collected from the audited financial statements of 164 manufacturing firms listed on Borsa Istanbul and Poisson regression analysis is applied to the empirical model. The results of regression analysis indicate that non-Big 4 auditors disclose more key audit matters and firm complexity considerably increases the number of key audit matters. A statistically insignificant relationship between the disclosure of key audit matters and audit opinion was found. This paper is expected to contribute to the limited literature by adding important findings on another perspective of key audit matters.
