Sample of auditors have been selected from the City of London in the United Kingdom and the Gaziantep City in Turkey. A questionnaire consisting of two parts has been implemented to these auditors.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, denetçiler tarafından bireysel olarak öngörülen en önemli hile göstergelerinin (kırmızı bayrakların) ne olduğunu belirlemek ve denetçilerin sosyodemografik özelliklerinin hile göstergeleri (kırmızı bayraklar) üzerinde önemli etkiye sahip olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, denetçilerden, SAS No.82’de yer alan finansal tablo hilelerine ilişkin erken uyarı göstergelerinin göreli önemini ortaya koymaları istenmiştir. Denetçi örneklemi, Londra ve Gaziantep şehirlerinde faaliyet gösteren denetçilerden alınmıştır. Denetçilere iki kısımdan oluşan bir anket yöneltilmiştir. İlk kısım, denetçilerin sosyo-demografik özelliklerini, ikinci kısım ise SAS 82’de yer alan finansal tablo hilelerine ilişkin erken uyarı göstergelerini içermektedir
