Another dismissal amid fund investigation
İbrahim Ömer Gönül, Chairman of Türkiye's Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK), was removed from office by a presidential decree published in the Official Gazette on October 20, 2026.
Authorization to investigate Gönül had previously been granted as part of the ongoing investment fund investigation. The leadership change comes amid heightened scrutiny of financial oversight mechanisms and investment funds.
The KGK plays a key role in overseeing independent auditing activities and ensuring the implementation of financial reporting standards. Developments regarding the authority's new leadership structure will be closely monitored.
