BENFORD YASASI İLE HİLE DENETİMİ : BDS VE KRİTİK DEĞERLER İLE ALTERNATİF BİR YAKLAŞIM

Abstract

Birçok savunucusu kadar eleştireni de olmasına rağmen Benford Yasası çok farklı şekillerde muhasebede kullanılagelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Benford yasasının finansal tabloların denetiminde kullanılmasında alternatif bir standart ve yasa ile uyumun değerlendirilmesinde yeni kritik değerler oluşturmaktır. Bu amaçla BİST’te işlem gören şirketlerin 2013-2017 yılları arası çeyrek dönemlik finansal tabloları (toplam 20 dönem) veri seti olarak kullanılmış, Benford analizi testlerinden 1. Basamak Testi, 2. Basamak Testi ve ilk 2 Basamak testleri uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak Benford yasasına uyumun değerlendirilmesinde daha anlamlı sonuçlar veren yeni kritik değerler üretilmiş ve BDS (Benford Basamak Skoru) alarak adlandırılan yeni bir ölçüm standardı hesaplanmıştır.
