İç Kontrol Sisteminin Değerlendirilmesinde Yapay Zekâ: Bağımsız Denetçilere Yönelik Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı; Kamuyu Aydınlatma Platformu’nda yer alan bağımsız denetim kuruluşlarının, müşteri işletmelerin iç kontrol sistemini değerlendirirken yapay zekâ araçlarını kullanma seviyesini tespit etmektir. Bu bağlamda Kamuyu Aydınlatma Platformu’nda yer alan bağımsız denetim kuruluşlarının e-mail adreslerine anket formu gönderilmiştir. Ankete 59 tane bağımsız denetim kuruluşu katılmıştır. Anketten elde edilen veriler SPSS 22.0 programı yardımıyla; Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis testleri ile birlikte yüzde ve frekans gibi tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; bağımsız denetçilerin müşteri işletmenin iç kontrol sistemini değerlendirirken yapay zekâ uygulamalarını önemli ölçüde kullanmayı tercih ettikleri ve lisans eğitimi mezunlarının doktora eğitimi mezunlarına göre kontrol faaliyetlerinde yapay zekâ uygulamalarını kullanma seviyesinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
