Öz

Bilgi teknolojilerinin ve risk analizinin kullanımı, tüm alanlarda olduğu gibi, vergi denetiminde de önemli bir konuma gelmiştir. Kullanılan sistemler ise birçok yönden değişiklik göstermektedir ve bu sebeple karşılaştırmalı çalışmaların yapılması, en iyi uygulamaların değerlendirilerek, sonuçlara etkilerinin araştırılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Avusturalya, Birleşik Krallık, Avusturya ve ABD’deki risk analizi sistemlerinin gelişimi araştırılmış ve bunun vergi denetiminde etkinliği sağlamadaki yeri ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Böylece risk analizine dayalı vergi denetiminin son durumu incelenerek; ülkemiz için bazı tespitler yapılmıştır. Önceleri vergi denetiminde etkinliği sağlamak için kullanılmaya başlanan risk analizi, günümüzde bu amacını geliştirerek vergi uyumunu artırmaya yoğunlaşmıştır. Söz konusu amacın ülkemizde de ön planda olması için genel olarak risk alanlarının açıklanmasına, mükelleflerin bilgilendirilmesine ve büyük mükelleflerle işbirlikçi uyum modelinin kurulmasına ihtiyaç vardır.
