Critical Differences Between Preliminary Accounting and General Accounting
Pre-accounting (financial operations) and general accounting (financial advisory) processes, which are often confused by business owners, are two separate disciplines that complement each other but have completely different legal responsibilities. The table below clearly distinguishes between the duties of your in-house staff and the strategic responsibilities that Akal CPA undertakes:
| Criteria / Task Description | Preliminary Accounting (In-House Operation) | General Accounting (Akal CPA Specialization) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Function | Daily cash flow, invoicing, inventory tracking and current account reconciliations. | Processing of documents in official books, filing of statutory declarations and tax calculations. |
| Legal Liability | It carries responsibility only toward company management; toward the state, it has no legal validity. | Before the Ministry of Finance and SGK, it gives rise to official tax liability and creates a legal basis. |
| Payroll and Personnel | Compiling staff timesheets and daily leave/overtime charts. | Converting timesheets into statutory salary, SGK and tax deductions, and filing official declarations. |
| Reporting Output | Daily cash and bank balance reports, customer debit and credit lists (Current Statement). | Official Corporate Income Tax Return, Balance Sheet, Income Statement and IFRS/TFRS Consolidation Reports. |

Frequently Asked Questions
General accounting services are the process of processing all invoices, bank transactions, personnel expenses and customs declarations issued and received by the company in the official government books according to the Uniform Chart of Accounts (UCA). In the light of this data, VAT, Withholding, Provisional and Corporate Income Tax declarations to be paid by the company are prepared and submitted to the state. It is a legal obligation under the Turkish Tax Procedure Law in order to prevent tax evasion and to record the revenues of the state.
Absolutely yes. Your in-house staff manage invoicing, collection follow-up, stock counts and daily cash transactions (preliminary accounting). However, making these transactions official, submitting them as tax returns to the Ministry of Finance system, entering them in the statutory books and calculating Corporate Income Tax can only be done by authorized Certified Public Accountants (SMMM) or firms holding CPA authorization.
IFRS is a legal obligation for publicly traded companies, banks and large capital companies subject to independent audit. In addition, companies with foreign capital operating in Turkey but headquartered abroad, as well as companies seeking loans or investment funds from abroad, are required to have IFRS/TFRS reporting as they have to present their financial statements in global standards.
e-Ledger is a legal obligation for companies that exceed the turnover thresholds set by the Revenue Administration (GİB). However, even if you are not subject to the obligation, switching to e-Ledger provides major advantages. It eliminates notarization costs and removes the cost of tons of paper and archiving. Since all accounting records are encrypted and stored digitally, the risks of fire, loss or tampering are completely eliminated.
As Akal CPA, invoice, bank, contract and payroll data of all domestic and foreign institutions we serve are stored on private cloud servers encrypted in international standards. Within the framework of strict confidentiality and KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law) agreements we have signed with our customers, none of your financial data or company secrets are shared with third parties or institutions except for legal obligations.
