Sayıştayların Denetlenmesi: Ülke Uygulamaları ve Türkiye

Sayıştaylar, her ülkede kamu kurumlarının hesaplarını ve mallarını denetleyen yüksek denetim kuruluşlarıdır. Kamu kurumlarının denetimi gibi sayıştayların da hesapları ile yapmış olduğu iş ve işlemlerin denetlenmesi gerekmektedir. Ülke sayıştaylarının denetlenmesi konusunda; meslektaş değerlendirmesi, bağımsız denetim kuruluşları tarafından yapılan inceleme ve diğer bir ülke sayıştayınca yapılan inceleme olmak üzere üç farklı yöntem izlenmektedir. Özellikle son on yıllık dönemde Uluslararası Yüksek Denetim Kurumları Teşkilatının (INTOSAI) da desteklediği ve büyük önem verdiği meslektaş değerlendirmesi ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada,  iyi uygulama örnekleri üzerinden sayıştayların nasıl denetimden geçtiği ve bu anlamda Türkiye örneği incelenmiş olup; Türk Sayıştayının meslektaş değerlendirmesine açılmasının faydalı olacağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
