A Conceptual Analysis Towards Correct Usage Of Control And Audit Concepts
Abstract
In English, control and audit concepts are used as two different concepts. However, Turkish equivalents of audit and control concepts are often confused and sometimes used interchangeably. Moreover, when the similar concepts used in older language, such as "revizyon", "teftiş", "murakabe" (revision, inspection, and supervision) are involved; there is a complete confusion of concepts. Especially when we look at the regulations related to commercial and financial legislation, the concept of control is confused with audit, and as a consequence, the functions of internal control and internal audit in businesses and their responsibilities to undertake these functions are not well understood. As long as we do not give correct meaning to concepts, we are less likely to construct "right" structures based on those concepts. For this purpose, the concepts of control and internal control and then audit and internal audit concepts were analyzed and the differences between them were put forward in this study. In this context, shedding light to structuring internal control and internal audit within the organization was aimed.
