Large and Medium-sized Enterprises can contribute to the country’s economy by providing a large portion of production and employment. Large and Medium-sized Enterprises play an important role in promoting individual savings, regional equitable development, spreading property over a wide area, providing employment opportunities, and so on. In the increasingly competitive environment in recent years, the accounting and financing structures of large and Medium-sized Enterprises have become increasingly important. “International Accounting Standards” are not mandatory for enterprises in Somalia. However, international investor companies use “International Financial Reporting Standards”. Using International Financial Reporting Standards has now become a prerequisite for attracting international investors and for incorporating global economics. The application inTurkey is quite different from that of Somalia. The public interest entities or public profit-seeking organizations in Turkey is obliged to implement the International Accounting and International Financial Reporting Standards. Micro or small-scale businesses are excluded from this application. These businesses do record and report under the scope of Turkey general communique on accounting system application and tax procedure law.
