DETERMINING THE PROBLEMS FACED BY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS WHEN APPLYING AUDITING STANDARDS: A FIELD STUDY

Year 2024, Volume: 24 Issue: 73, 43 - 60, 10.09.2024

Abstract

The ability of countries to adapt to constantly developing and changing market volumes and increasing
competition conditions has made the implementation and auditing of standards important for all
businesses and parties interested in auditing. Depending on this obligation, businesses have taken
initiatives to adopt and implement both accounting and auditing standards. In this context, studies
have started to be carried out by authorized institutions/organizations within the scope of the use
and harmonization of standards, taking into account international developments. However, the use
of standards sometimes causes some problems for auditors and enterprises undertaking audit work,
and these problems negatively affect the reporting process of enterprises. In this study, it is aimed
to determine the relationships between the knowledge level of auditors, auditors’ attitudes towards
standards and the problems encountered while applying auditing standards. As a result of the research,
a relationship was found between the knowledge level of auditors, auditors’ attitudes and problems
encountered in auditing. Accordingly, it is assumed that as the knowledge level of the auditors
increases, the attitude will increase and the problems encountered will decrease.

BAĞIMSIZ DENETÇİLERİN DENETİM STANDARTLARINI UYGULARKEN KARŞILAŞTIKLARI SORUNLARIN TESPİT EDİLMESİ: BİR ALAN ARAŞTIRMASI

Year 2024, Volume: 24 Issue: 73, 43 - 60, 10.09.2024

Abstract

Ülkelerin sürekli gelişen ve değişen pazar hacimleri ve buna bağı olarak artan rekabet koşullarına uyum sağlayabilmeleri standartların uygulanması ve denetimini bütün işletmeler ve denetimle ilgilenen taraflar için önemli hale getirmiştir. Bu zorunluluğa bağlı olarak işletmeler gerek muhasebe gerekse de denetim standartlarının benimsenmesi ve uygulanması noktasında girişimlerde bulunmuşlardır. Bu kapsamda, uluslararası gelişmeler dikkate alınarak standartların kullanılması ve uyumlaştırılması kapsamında yetkili kurum/kuruluşlar tarafından çalışmalar yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Ancak standartların kullanılması zaman zaman denetim işini üstlenen denetçilerin ve işletmelerin bazı sorunlarla karşı karşıya getirmekte; bu sorunlar ise işletmelerin raporlama sürecini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada denetçilerin bilgi düzeyi, denetçilerin standartlara ilişkin tutumu ile denetim standartlarını uygularken karşılaştıkları sorunlar arasındaki ilişkiler tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda denetçilerin bilgi düzeyi ile denetçilerin tutumları ve denetimde karşılaşılan sorunlar arasında ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre denetçilerin bilgi düzeyi arttıkça, tutumun arttığı ve karşılaşılan sorunların azalacağı varsayılmaktadır.
