Constantly changing legal regulations, sectoral legislation, and complex internal company procedures pose a significant risk management challenge for businesses. Through the ‘Compliance Audit’ services we offer at Alinda Independent Audit, we determine whether your business is in full compliance with laws, regulations, and contracts, preventing potential penal sanctions and loss of reputation.
What is a Compliance Audit?
A compliance audit is the process of examining whether a business’s financial and operational activities adhere to the laws and regulations set by authorities, or the internal policies and procedures established by the business management. This type of audit seeks an answer to the question: ‘Do the rules and practices align?’ Its purpose is to verify that the business is operating safely within the defined boundaries.
In Which Areas Do We Provide Compliance Audits?
We shape our audit scope according to the sector in which your business operates and the rules to which it is subject:
Compliance with Legal Legislation: Compliance tests for the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC), Tax Procedure Law (VUK), Labor Law, and Social Security legislation.
Compliance with Sectoral Regulations: Auditing compliance with specific legislation in regulated sectors such as Banking (BRSA/BDDK), Energy (EMRA/EPDK), and Capital Markets (CMB/SPK).
Internal Company Policies: Checking compliance with ethical rules, procurement procedures, and personnel regulations determined by the board of directors.
Compliance with Contractual Terms: Determining whether the financial and administrative conditions set forth in dealership agreements, license agreements, or loan agreements (Covenants) are being fulfilled.
Why is a Compliance Audit Vital?
This audit does not just save your business from ‘paying fines’; it also provides a sustainable management structure.
Elimination of Risks: Early detection of risks such as monetary fines, suspension of activities, or license cancellations that may arise from non-compliance with the law.
Protection of Corporate Reputation: A transparent company image that respects the law creates trust in the eyes of customers and investors.
Mitigation of Management Responsibility: Enables the board of directors and executives to document that they have fulfilled their legal obligations.
Efficiency: Linking workflows to standards eliminates arbitrariness in processes and increases operational efficiency.
