Abstract: Among numerous countries adopting International Financial Reporting Standards, Turkey is a country where the entire set is translated to Turkish and approved it as national accounting standards. Considering its history and the country’s established tax based accounting and business culture, using rules that were originated in another language creates problems both in understanding and applying Turkish Accounting Standards. The purpose of this text is to illustrate some of the examples of difficulties in applying Turkish Accounting Standards and to explain past and current financial reporting environment in Turkey.
