Internal Control and Risk Management Training was held at the Faculty of Law on November 5, 2025, to contribute to the internal control system studies conducted by the Internal Audit Unit of Türk-Alman University. The training was conducted to increase the effectiveness of the internal control system, ensure that the risk management process is adopted by all employees, and raise awareness among staff.
The meeting began with an opening speech by Associate Dean Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Tolga Özer. Özer emphasized the importance of internal control in terms of institutional functioning and stressed the need for the active participation of all personnel in the process.
Three separate presentations were made at our faculty as part of the training:
1. COSO Internal Control Model Training
In the first part of the meeting, the Internal Audit Unit of Turkish-German University provided information about the COSO Internal Control Model (internal control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring activities). In this context, Associate Dean Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Tolga Özer shared his assessments regarding the internal audit process and gave an informational presentation on the internal control system to faculty staff.
2. Work Ethics Training
In the second session of the meeting, Assoc. Prof. Engin Arıkan from the Faculty of Law gave a training session on work ethics. The training covered three fundamental principles that form the cornerstones of corporate ethical culture:
not acting based on immediate desires and interests, focusing on long-term truths,
universalizing actions based on principles and
ensuring consistency, and acting with ethical responsibility by considering the consequences of decisions and behaviors.
Arıkan emphasized that ethical behavior is not merely about following rules, but rather a conscious and responsible decision-making process.
3. Proliz Student Information System Training
In the third part of the training, Mehmet Güçtemur, member of the Student Affairs Office, identified potential risks that may be encountered when using the Proliz Student Information System and provided information on the correct and effective use of the system.
