Atilla ZAIMOGLU

SPECIALIST

After completing my education at Istanbul University in 1978 and furthering my studies in the USA and England, I began my professional journey as an assistant auditor at the Capital Markets Board (SPK). I then advanced to become a SPK specialist and held this position until 1993. During my tenure, I audited publicly traded companies, both listed and unlisted, adhering to accounting and auditing standards. I also conducted audits of securities intermediary institutions, investment funds, and partnerships. Furthermore, I conducted audits of transactions in the Istanbul Stock Exchange, monitored stock transactions, and contributed to the regulation of capital market legislation.

Additionally, I actively participated in efforts to establish accounting and auditing standards and principles within the Turkish Capital Markets. Moreover, I had the opportunity to work in a different department at the SPK as a specialist, where I evaluated and approved companies for public offerings, reviewed and granted permissions for stock and private sector issuance applications, and assessed applications for the operation of securities intermediary institutions.

During the period from 1993 to 1999, I held the position of General Manager in Securities Investment companies. Alongside overseeing company management, my responsibilities included establishing new branches and agencies, facilitating primary and secondary market transactions in stocks, organizing marketing activities to attract corporate and individual customers, and overseeing the establishment and operation of mutual funds. Furthermore, I conducted numerous seminars on these topics, contributing to knowledge sharing and industry education.

Polaris Revision Audit, an independent auditing company, was established in 1998 with the necessary authorization and approval from the Capital Markets Board. I held the role of partner and chief auditor within the company.

During this time, our activities focused on conducting audits for both listed and non-listed companies, providing expertise in the authorization of securities investment funds, offering consultancy services related to publicly traded capital market legislation, and advising companies on their public offering transactions.

Currently, I am fully involved in my role at SevenHills CPA Audit and Consulting, where I actively provide a comprehensive range of services. These services encompass various areas such as audit, corporate management, and consultancy. As a dedicated professional, I leverage my expertise and experience to deliver high-quality solutions and support to our clients. Whether it’s conducting thorough audits, assisting with effective corporate management strategies, or providing valuable consultancy guidance, I am committed to contributing to the success and growth of the organizations we serve
