dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aims to identify and discuss educational practices of a selected set of audit firms oper-ating in Turkey within the scope of corporate transparency reports.Methodology: To address the basic research question, a sample of 52 audit firm disclosures in transparency reports are examined, and statistical analyses are conducted through SPSS.Results: Audit firms affiliated with international bodies provide comparatively longer periods of non-tech-nical or soft skills education in-house. Transparency reports published in Turkey are yet to be standardized, and audit firms are to systematically plan and enrich their education programs with a particular emphasis on soft skills.Conclusion: Audit firms would gain from investing in the development of non-technical skills, which is not only limited by monetary concerns but also by other factors yet to be considered. The study also attempts to uncover any similarity/difference among audit firms' educational initiatives identified in transparency reports, and understand whether these initiatives translate into some meaningful relationships and out-comes.
