Meral EROL FİDAN — 2024-08-29

It is always likely that the financial reports prepared by businesses that have significant roles in the financial markets may be manipulated. Via the flexibility provided by the accrual-based accounting principle, businesses are able to manipulate financial information in their reports by showing their financial status and performance differently. This study, using the Beneish TR Model, aims to determine whether 19 businesses in the stone and soil-based industry whose stocks are traded on Borsa İstanbul (BİST) committed manipulation of financial information in their financial reports in the periods of 2017, 2018 and 2019. In this study, it was also evaluated whether there was a relationship between these businesses according to the key audit matters specified in the independent audit reports published in these periods. With the 19 businesses that constitute the universe of the study, the data obtained from their financial reports were used to calculate the Mi values which show probability of manipulation according to the Beneish TR model and thus Zi values were calculated by determining the standard normal distribution. It can be concluded from the Zi values found that there are serious findings such as: 12 out of 17 businesses evaluated in 2017, 10 out of 18 businesses evaluated in 2018 and 12 out of 18 businesses evaluated in 2019 period resorted to accounting manipulation. When the key audit matters stated in the independent audit reports of these businesses were examined, it was also observed that the key audit matter concerning the “accounting of the revenue” was the most common one in all three periods.

Murat BAYH. Hüseyin KULAK — 2024-08-29

Currently, information is one of the most important criteria for businesses at the point of competition. It is human who produces and uses information. For this reason, it is possible to indicate that human resource management is the source of organizations taking a human-centered approach. In a globalized world, organizations use human resources efficiently and effectively to outperform their competitors, allowing them to take an advantage of their competitors. Many businesses use electronic human resources systems to store information about human resources and evaluate this information when necessary. In this way, the costs to this department are reduced and time is saved, and the access to the requested information is easier. This information is analyzed and reported and provides data opportunities for both business managers and human resources experts to focus on strategic issues. At present, when information becomes a value in itself, it signals a change. This new process created by Information Technologies leaves a new type of business to replace existing businesses. The new type of business that emerged during this period when information was dominant is called digital business. Digital human resources management is simply the execution of human resources applications in digital environments. Another expression is to make all data related to human resources processes systematic, secure and easily accessible in digital environment. In this sense, the study also mentioned the process of digitalization of human resources.
