Differences in practice between FRS for SMIs and Tax Procedure Law/GCASI and an application

In Turkey, the existing legally mandatory GCASI / TPL approach is based on the basis of taxation. The essence of this approach is based on preventing tax evasion and subjecting all taxed businesses to common rules. However, this approach is not enough for businesses that want to report to a wide audience of users. Businesses that are subject to independent audit have been meeting these common language requirements since the past with IFRS applications. However, there was no general framework for newly established start-ups or small businesses, whose numbers are growing today, to adapt to this common language. The Public Oversight Authority (public oversight accounting and auditing standards authority) examined the European Union's guidelines to create this general framework, and as a result of these reviews, in 2019, the FRS for SMIs submitted its draft report to the public. FRS for SMIs is very important in terms of integrating small businesses with the world, directing foreign investors to our country and starting-up businesses to find investors and will start to be implemented starting from 2022. This study aims to be a resource that businesses that will report according to FRS for SMIs can benefit from, mainly addressing the difference between FRS for SMIs applications and MSUGT/ TPL applications. For this purpose, the theoretical infrastructure of FRS for SMIs was explained in detail, its differences with MSUGT \ TPL were explained; the differences between FRS for SMIs and GCASI/ TPL the approach were tried to be shown in practice; finally, these differences in the practice were compared with ratio analysis.
