Abstract
Various arrangements have been made to increase the effectiveness of the
audit. One of these arrangements is mandatory rotation. What is meant by the
mandatory rotation is to increase the impartiality and independence of the
auditor. Independence and impartiality are also indispensable for professional
accountants. In this study, it is aimed to determine whether the mandatory
rotation of independent auditing should be applied to accountants and to
determine the view of the members of the profession in terms of mandatory
rotation. Firstly, literature review has been done to determine the aims of the
mandatory rotation applied in the independent audit. As a result of the review,
it has been determined that the rotation requirement in the independent audit
is aimed at the desired characteristics of accounting activities. A
questionnaire technique was conducted on the certified public accountants operating
in Tokat province in order to determine the approaches of the members of the
professions. The results show that professionals do not support the
implementation of the mandatory rotation for accountants.

Abstract
Denetimin etkinliğini
artırmak için de çeşitli düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Bu düzenlemelerden bir
tanesi de zorunlu rotasyondur. Rotasyon
şartı ile amaçlanan denetçinin tarafsızlığını ve bağımsızlığını artırmaktır.
Muhasebe meslek mensupları için de bağımsızlık ve tarafsızlık vazgeçilmez bir
özelliktir. Bu çalışmada bağımsız denetimdeki rotasyon şartının muhasebe mesleğinde
uygulanıp uygulanılmayacağının belirlenmesi ve meslek mensuplarının rotasyon
şartına bakışlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Öncelikle denetimde uygulanan zorunlu
rotasyon amaçlarını belirlemek için literatür incelemesi yapılmıştır. Yapılan
inceleme sonucu bağımsız denetimde rotasyon şartının, muhasebe faaliyetlerinde
de olması istenen özellikleri amaçladığı belirlenmiştir. Meslek mensuplarının
bu şarta bakışını tespit etmek amacıyla Tokat ilinde faaliyet gösteren Serbest
Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirler üzerinde anket tekniği ile bir araştırma
yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, meslek mensuplarının Serbest Muhasebeci Mali
Müşavirler için rotasyon şartının uygulanmasını desteklemediğini
göstermektedir.
