A research on the ethical aspect of accounting professionality and accounting and auditing professional members

Just as in the globalized world, there is a rapid rise in the labor market in our country. This increase is also causing the number of enterprises to increase. The highly competitive environment that exists among a large number of existing enterprises is causing the business markets to get tighter. In the face of these tensions, it has been observed that they tend to get out of the ethical rules in order to ensure the sustainability of the enterprises. First of all, in this study, the ethical perception levels of the professionals who perform the accounting and auditing profession were tried to be determined and the causes of compliance with ethical rules and their reasons for not complying were tried to be analyzed in a comprehensive way. The concept and scope of accounting in the study, the development and change from the historical point of view, the irregularities that emerged and the concept of cheating have been mentioned. In our work we have taken reference to previous work and occupational legislation related to the subject. It is also aimed to contribute to the literature by applying the questionnaire.
