The purpose of this study is to comparatively investigate the content analysis of the audit reports of the Turkish BIST 100 index and the EURONEXT 100 companies, one of the European stock indexes. In this context, the independent audit reports of the companies included in the EURONEXT 100 and BIST 100 indexes between 2016-2019 were analyzed by content analysis method in terms of selected variables. The increase in audit report pages with the effect of new regulations; Shorter report LAG time in BIST 100; shortening of LAG times over time in both indices; the existence of a large audit firm preference; insufficient representation of female supervisors in both indices; while audit firm rotation is more common in BIST, auditor change is more preferred in EURONEXT, and finally, the similarity in the reported number of KAMs and their subjects can be counted among the research results. In this context, according to the results of the research; first of all, it showed that the audit reports largely comply with the new regulations and that efforts to create a common language for auditing standards are underway. It has been observed that the audit reports compared under six headings show a great deal of similarity, but there are some differences due to legal reasons such as the validity dates of the standards in countries. And, it is hoped that the study will contribute to our national literature within the scope of comparative samples and to draw attention to BIST in the international literature.
