ENTEGRE RAPORLAMADA MUHASEBE MESLEK MENSUPLARININ ROLÜ VE MUHASEBE MÜFREDATLARINDA ENTEGRE RAPORLAMA

Abstract

Kurumsal raporlar, şeffaflık ve hesap verilebilirliğin sağlanmasında kullanılan araçlardır. Kurumsal raporlamada yeni bir yaklaşım olan entegre raporlama 2009 yılından itibaren dünya çapında tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Entegre raporlama, finansal ve finansal olmayan bilgilerin entegre düşünce temelinde raporlanmasını sağlayan kurumsal raporlama aracıdır. Kurumsal raporlamada yeni bir yaklaşım olmasından dolayı, entegre raporlamada muhasebe meslek mensuplarının rolü ve entegre raporlama eğitimi tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda öncelikle entegre raporlama ile ilgili bilgi verilecek, entegre raporlamada muhasebe meslek mensuplarının rolü ve entegre raporlama eğitimi tartışılacak, sonrasında mesleki kuruluşların eğitim müfredatları ve Güney Afrika’da entegre raporlama eğitimi veren üniversitelerin eğitim müfredatları incelenerek Ülkemiz için örnek bir müfredat sunulmaya çalışılacaktır.
