An evaluation of manipulation detection through ratio analysis applied on financial statements and a practice in textile sector

Natural disasters are nature events that occur instantanously and that are difficult to detect. Disasters are natural or human made events that caused enormous bodily injury and property losses, and led states and nations to suffer economically. Therefore, disaster management systems are essential for combatting disasters. Thanks to the risk management studies before disasters occur, the consequences of disasters could be detected in advance and the impact of disasters could be minimized by taking the necessary measures. Unfortunately, natural disasters occur very frequently in Turkey and the impact of these disasters create heavy burdens on both the state and the nation, causing serious interruptions in the course of living. If Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, home to 20 % of Turkey's total population, is affected by a disaster, it can be inferred that such an event will be heavily damaging for both the country and the nation. Therefore, this study about the analysis of disaster management in Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality attempts to answer questions concerning how the current disaster management in Turkey is, the duty, power, and problems of service units under disaster management, risk management process and the importance of damage mitigation and preparation stages within it, what the dangers and risks threatening Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality are, and what kind of measures are taken about these dangers and risks. In the conclusion and suggestions section, an overall assessment of the thesis study is done under the light of information collected throughout the study, suggestions are made about the current work on disaster danger and risks in Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and it is aimed that this study would be guiding the future studies on this subject.
