Bu çalışmanın temel amacı,
Türkiye’de, şirketlerin kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik raporlarını ne oranda
güvence denetimine tabi tuttuklarını ortaya koyarak bu konudaki farkındalık
hakkında bir görüş ortaya koyabilmektir. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda, Küresel
Raporlama Girişimi (Global Reporting Initiative-GRI) indeksinde yer alan,
Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren firmalardan 2015-2019 yılları arasında kurumsal
sürdürülebilirlik raporu yayımlayan 101 firmaya ait 203 adet rapor, güvence
raporuna sahip olup olmamaları bakımından incelenmiştir. Yapılan frekans
analizi sonucunda çok az sayıda sürdürülebilirlik raporunun güvence denetimine
tabi tutulduğu; bağımsız denetçilerin, şirketlerin kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik
raporlarında beyan ettikleri bilgilerin doğruluğunu denetlerken büyük oranda
ISAE 3000-International Standard on Assurance Engagements standardını (GDS
3000- Tarihi Finansal Bilgilerin Bağımsız
Denetimi ve Sınırlı Bağımsız Denetimi Dışındaki Güvence Denetimleri Standardı) dayanak
olarak kabul ettiği tespitedilmiştir.
