TÜRKİYE’DE BAĞIMSIZ DENETÇİLERİN HİLE RİSK FAKTÖRLERİ ETKİ DEĞERLEMESİ

Year 2013, Volume: 13 Issue: 40, 83 - 108, 01.06.2013

Abstract

Bu çalışma SAS No.99 ve benzeri düzenlemelerin ekinde yer alan ve hile risk değerlendirmelerinde kullanılanhile risk faktörleri konusunda Türk denetçilerin değerlemelerini ortaya çıkarmayı ve ilgili meslek mensuplarınındeğerlemeleri ile karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Türk denetçileri tutum ve rasyonalizasyon koşulları ile ilgilifinansal raporlama risk faktörlerine daha çok önem veriyor görünmekte ve fırsat ve ortam koşulları ile ilgili varlıkların kötüye kullanılması hile risk faktörlerini daha etkili olarak değerlenmektedir. Her ne kadar yerel denetçilerin değerlemeleri yabancı meslektaşlarından biraz farklılık gösterse de, bir bütün olarak Türk denetçilerin değerlemeleri iç ve dış denetçiler ile adlî muhasebeciler gibi hile ile ilgili meslektaşlarının değerlemeleri ile genel olarak uyumlu bulunmaktadır. Başka bir anlatımla, Türk denetçileri Cressey’in hile üçgeninin köşelerinioluşturan koşullardan habersiz değildir ve bu noktadan müşteri işletmeler tarafından kontrol edilebilen ve edilemeyen koşulların bilincinde olduğu ve hile olaylarına karşı alınan önlemlerin söz konusu koşullardan etkilendiğini düşündüğü çıkarımı yapılabilmektedir. Öte yandan, Türk denetçileri fırsat ve ortam ile ilgili koşullar özelolarak iç kontrollar ve genel olarak kontrol çevresi ile yakından ilişkili olduğundan varlıkların kötüye kullanılması hilelerinin önlenmesi ve ortaya çıkarılmasında fırsat ve ortam koşulları ile ilgili risk faktörlerinin en etkilifaktörler olduğunu değerlendirmektedir

EXTERNAL AUDITORS’ IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF FRAUD RISK FACTORS IN TURKEY

Year 2013, Volume: 13 Issue: 40, 83 - 108, 01.06.2013

Abstract

This research aims at discovering Turkish auditors’ weights for risk factors i.e. red flags annexed to SASNo.99 and similar regulations and used in their fraud risk assessments and compare them with relevant professionals’ weights. They seem to attach more importance to financial reporting fraud risk factors involving attitude&rationalisation conditions and find asset misappropriation fraud risk factors involving opportunity conditions more effective than others. Though local auditors’ weights slightly differ from those of their foreign counterparts in Turkey, Turkish auditors’ assessment as a whole is generally compatible with that of other fraud-related professionals, which consists of internal&external auditors and forensic experts. In other words, they arenot unaware of the type of conditions each represented by the corners of Cressey’s fraud triangle, which mightalso imply that Turkish auditors are conscious of conditions which can or cannot be controlled by the clientcompanies themselves, and think countermeasures taken by them against fraud incidents affected by the type ofthese conditions. On the other hand, they consider opportunity conditions to be the most effective risk factorsin preventing and detecting asset misappropriation frauds, because opportunity conditions are closely relatedwith internal controls in particular and control environments in general
