摘要:The role of audit profession and the implementation of new audit standards are aimed to improve the quality of audit reports and one of the recent improvements is the inclusion of Key Audit Matters (KAM) as a separate section in the auditor’s report. The aim of introducing KAMs is to give information about the areas of higher risk and the effect of most significant events. This study aims to contribute to the current literature by determining the matters which should be included as KAMs and the factors affecting KAM disclosure. It also examines the relationship between the total number of KAMs and firm level characteristics for the Turkish market. Our findings reveal that some of the firm level characteristics have a significant impact on KAM disclosures.
