Türkiye'de Muhasebecilerin Mesleki Rollerini Algilamalari/Perceptions of professional roles of accountants in Turkey

Whether due to occupational competition or the differentiation of expectancies of their clients, as time passes, accountants have begun to undertake many different duties beyond their legal obligations and responsibilities. Over time, this situation has caused changes in the perception of the occupational roles of accountants in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to find out how active accountants in Turkey perceive their occupational duties and whether a correlation exists between their perception and demographic properties. According to data obtained through surveys, it has been established that accountants perceive their occupational roles in three categories: Financial Consulting, Fulfilling Legal Obligations, and Performing Non-Essential Duties. Furthermore, it has been concluded that there is a significant correlation between accountants' marital status, level of education, job title, and income level and their perception of their occupational roles.
