Journal Title: Muhasebe ve Finansman Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 0

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the main risks threatening going concern and develop control recommendations for these risks. To this end, through individual interviews, a survey was conducted with the owners or managers of the SMEs operating in Kırşehir Organized Industrial Zone. The data obtained from the survey was analyzed via SPSS 20.0. The results revealed that 89.2 percent of the SMEs are family businesses, while 73 percent are small-sized businesses. The risks that SMEs frequently encounter are exchange risk, credit risk, economic crisis risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk, respectively. It was found that to avoid these risks, the SMEs mainly manage stocks effectively, yet they do not make use of derivative products and they cannot maintain a strong liquidity position. Three control recommendations the SMEs do not follow much are the written family constitution, shareholders’ agreement, and 7/24 fraud report line. In order for the businesses to operate effectively for many years, it is necessary that the related parties especially the business managers attach importance to corporate risk management and effective internal control. This study is expected to contribute to the SMEs in terms of improving risk management and internal control.
