Bu çalışma, bağımsız çalışan Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirler’in bürolarında istihdam edecekleri
muhasebe elemanlarında aradıkları bilgi/beceriler ile kişisel özelliklerin neler olduğunu ve bir beklenti boşluğu
bulunup bulunmadığını belirlemeye yöneliktir. Bu amaçla, Balıkesir ilinde faaliyette bulunan 247 bağımsız
çalışan SMMM ile yapılan anket çalışmasından elde edilen veriler SPSS 22.0 ve Microsoft Office Excel
programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, meslek mensuplarının işyerlerinde çalıştıracakları
muhasebe elemanlarında aradıkları bilgi/becerilerden “insan ilişkileri becerisi” başta olmak üzere jenerik
becerilerin teknik becerilerden daha yüksek ortalamaya sahip olduğu ve yine jenerik becerilerde daha yüksek
olmak üzere beklenti boşluğunun bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, meslek mensuplarının işyerlerinde
çalıştıracakları muhasebe meslek elemanlarında aradıkları kişisel özelliklerin başında “doğruluk, dürüstlük ve
güvenirlik” in geldiği tespit edilmiştir.
