İşletmelerin
sunmuş oldukları finansal tablolar, çok geniş bir finansal bilgi kullanıcı
kitlesinin (işetme yöneticileri, kredi sağlayıcılar, mevcut ve potansiyel
yatırımcılar, kamu kurumları, sendikalar vb.), işletmeler ile ilgili aldıkları
kararlarda rehber işlevi görmektedir. Arz ettiği bu önemli işlev nedeni ile
finansal tabloların bağımsız denetim sürecinden geçmesi, işletmeler ile ilgili
alınacak kararlara temel teşkil eden finansal tabloların güvenilirlik düzeyini
tesis etmektedir. Bağımsız denetim alanında önemlilik, finansal tablolarda yer
alan bilgilerdeki olası bir hata, hile ya da eksiklik, karar alıcıların
alacakları kararları etkileyecek düzeyde ise önemlidir şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır.
Bağımsız denetim süreci için hayati önem taşıyan önemlilik düzeyinin tespiti
denetçiler tarafından yapılmaktadır ve bu düzeyin ne olması gerektiği ile
ilgili genel kabul görmüş bir veri yoktur. Önemlilik düzeyi bazı durumlarda
denetçilerin muhakemesine göre bazı durumlarda da denetim sürecinden geçen
işletmenin yapısına ve bulunduğu sektöre göre değişiklik gösterebilmektedir.
Kuramsal açıdan yürütülen bu çalışmada görece değişebilen önemlilik düzeyi ile
ilgili olarak ulusal ve uluslararası literatür taraması yapılmıştır.

A Literature Review on Audit Materiality

The financial reports,
presented by the companies, lead a role of guiding for a vast number of
financial information users (Management, creditors, potential investors,
government bodies, labor unions etc.) on their decision-making processes. The
independent audit process of this vital function boosts the reliability of financial
statements which consists the basis for a decision-making. Materiality in audit
is described as; “a fraud, error or misstatement is material when it is at a
level where the decisions of the users are effected”. The materiality, which
poses a vital role in audit processes, is defined by the auditors and has not a
generally accepted formula. It depends sometimes on the professional judgement
of auditors, on the anatomy of the auditee and on the spesific features of the
industry at which the auditee performs. This study, being performed in a
conceptual way, has experienced a literature review of both national and global
sources on materiality.
