Abstract:

In this study, primarily, the problems of professionals in the accountancy and expectations of them for solutions are investigated. In this regard, a questionnaire towards accountants was prepared and applied in the website. 428 questionnaires were obtained and analyzed by SPSS. According to findings, “intensive workload”, “very cheap bookkeeping by some professionals”, “irregular or no payment by taxpayers”, “despite professional competence and responsibilities, low earnings of accountants” were stated as main problems, respectively. However, about %80 of the respondents thought that the number of accountants were redundant. In terms of expectations of accountants from taxpayers, “the certification of commercial activities by taxpayers, holding regular documents and not to use misleading documents” and “be aware of taxpayers in terms of their responsibilities” were the most primary expectations. Most of the respondents stated that their professions affected their private life and %66,67 of respondents faced with a health problem because of their professions.
