Financial scandals in the USA
and some European countries in recent years have damaged the trust in the audit
and revealed the need to take some measures. At the beginning of these measures
is the idea of establishing a public oversight institution for the audit.
Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority was established
in our country on 02.11.2011. With the establishment of the Public Oversight
Authority, the authority to determine audit standards, empower independent
auditors and audit institutions and supervise them has been gathered under one
roof by law. In this study, it is aimed to determine the opinions of
independent auditors about Public Oversight Authority. For this purpose, a
questionnaire was applied to independent auditors operating in Gaziantep,
Adıyaman and Kilis. In the survey, open-ended questions were asked to
independent auditors to measure their opinions about the work of the Public
Oversight Authority. As a result of the research, it was determined that the
majority of the auditors found the organization's work insufficient. However,
it is in the direction that UPS’ expectations will be met in the future. The
standarts that the UPS tries to develop regarding independent auditors and
independent audit companies will have positive results in terms of independent
auditing and auditing profession in the future
