Determination of awareness level of professional accountants related to integrated reporting: Examples of Bursa province

The financial statements have been used as the sole source for the long term evaluation of the performance of the enterprises.With the development of technology and the rapid progress of globalization, evaluations made on financial reports for users of information remained insufficient to reflect the overall performance of the enterprises and their future. In addition to financial information, the social, managerial and environmental performances of the enterprises (non-financial information) have become information required by information users. The idea that information users want to see information about the performance of businesses as a single report, together with the financial and non-financial performance of the enterprises, has created the concept of integrated reporting, a new corporate reporting approach. In this context, firstly the conceptual framework of integrated reporting will be examined in detail. In the application part of the study, the level of awareness of the professional accountants registered with the Chamber of Certified Public Accountants working in the province of Bursa on integrated reporting will be examined. Surveys to be made to the relevant group will be used as the source of the research and the data will be analyzed with SPSS 20 program.
