This study was conducted to carry out, within the framework of the independent auditing firms, an assessment of the application results of Turkish Accounting Standards and Turkish Financial Reporting Standards, known by acronyms TAS/TFRS, respectively. In order to acquire investigational data, a survey method was used. The data derived from the survey were put through a frequencyfactor analysis. The participants were of the opinion that the applications of TAS/TFRS could positively affect firm operating activities, enhance the efficiency of accounting applications and have a positive impact on financial reporting processes. It was also deduced that such standards would bring flexibility to accounting applications as per tax applications, and that they would reflect credit upon business organizations.
