Abstract
ABSTRACT This research offers an in-depth examination of the early financial reporting culture in Republican Turkey, using the Uşak Terakki-i Ziraat Turkish Joint Stock Company (Uşak Sugar Company) as a case study. The analysis of the company's financial statements from 1925 and 1931 reveals the development of financial reporting practices during a transformative period, marked by industrialization efforts and the introduction of the 1926 Turkish Commercial Code and Income Tax Law. The study identifies both progress and challenges in financial reporting, including detailed fixed assets classifications, accounting irregularities, inadequate auditing and working capital management practices. The findings indicate that these issues, alongside macroeconomic factors, have contributed to the company’s liquidation in 1932. This failure could have indirectly catalyzed a shift toward statist economic policies in the 1930s. JEL Classifications: M41; O14.
重新审视u ak terakki - Ziraat土耳其股份公司(1925-1931):土耳其早期财务报告文化的个案研究
摘要本研究以u ak terakki - Ziraat土耳其股份公司(u ak Sugar Company)为案例,对共和土耳其早期的财务报告文化进行了深入研究。对1925年至1931年公司财务报表的分析揭示了财务报告实践在转型时期的发展,以工业化努力和1926年土耳其商法典和所得税法的引入为标志。该研究确定了财务报告方面的进展和挑战,包括详细的固定资产分类、会计违规、审计不足和营运资金管理做法。研究结果表明,这些问题与宏观经济因素一起,导致了公司在1932年的清算。这一失败可能间接催化了20世纪30年代向中央集权经济政策的转变。JEL分类:M41;O14。
