Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 185 - 198, 01.04.2025

Abstract

It has been observed that interest in the independent auditing profession has increased since the 2000s. In a world where new developments occur every day, the conditions for being subject to inspection are also changing. These days, when the concept of sustainability is included in the audit, research on the subject must continue without losing momentum, both theoretically and in practice. Purpose of the study; With the decision published in the Official Gazette on 29.12.2023, it examines the sustainability reporting that has become mandatory for companies exceeding certain threshold values, draws attention to the Sustainability Auditing profession, which will be held for the first time by the Public Oversight Authority (POA), and contributes to the literature in this direction. The fact that the study has not been examined before from the perspective discussed supports its contribution to the literature.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK DENETÇİLİĞİ: YENİ DÖNEM YEŞİL MESLEK

Abstract

2000’li yıllardan itibaren bağımsız denetçilik mesleğine olan ilginin arttığı görülmektedir. Her geçen gün yeni bir gelişmenin yaşandığı dünyada denetime tabi olma şartları da değişmektedir. Sürdürülebilirlik kavramının da denetime dahil edildiği bu günlerde konu ile ilgili araştırmaların hem teorik olarak hem de uygulamada hızını kaybetmeden devam etmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı; 29.12.2023 tarihinde resmi gazetede yayınlanan karar ile birlikte belirli eşik değerleri aşan şirketlere uygulanması zorunlu hale gelen sürdürülebilirlik raporlamasını irdelemek, Kamu Gözetimi Kurumu (KGK) tarafından ilk kez yapılacak olan Sürdürülebilirlik Denetçiliği mesleğine dikkat çekmek ve literatüre bu yönde katkı sağlamaktadır. Çalışmanın ele alınan perspektiften daha önce incelenmemiş olması literatüre sağlayacağı katkıyı destekler niteliktedir.
