The purpose of this thesis is to develop an understanding about internal fraud and corruption problem in Turkish construction industry. During the research, the reasons behind the internal fraud and corruption problem, types of internal fraud and prevention methods for internal fraud and corruption were investigated and various recommendations were developed. Moreover, fraud risk awareness questionnaire was implemented to understand the likelihood occurrence of internal fraud types in construction sector and proactive and reactive measures against these problems. Moreover, types of fraud incidences experienced by Turkish construction companies were also investigated with the questionnaire. The questionnaire reached to 89 respondents and, recommendations to prevent internal fraud and corruption problem were developed by detailed statistical analyses.

Corruption and Internal Fraud in the Turkish Construction Industry Gunduz, Murat; Onder, Oytun (2013-06-01) The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding about the internal fraud and corruption problem in the Turkish construction industry. The reasons behind the internal fraud and corruption problem as well as the types of prevention methods were investigated; and as a result various recommendations were made. To this end, a risk awareness questionnaire was used to understand the behavioral patterns of the construction industry, and to clarify possible proactive and reactive measures against internal f...
A Study on the price escalation system in public construction contracts in Turkey Ercan, Muhammed; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) The construction industry has a major role in the development of Turkish economy. The construction sector contributes 6-8 % of the gross domestic product of Turkey. At the same time, public investments comprise an important portion in the Turkish construction sector. Medium to large construction projects generally take over a year for completion and cost of materials and labor that are used as resources in construction projects often increase during implementation of construction projects. On the other hand...
Development of an IT-based tool for portfolio assessment and management for construction companies Bilgin, Gözde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Özorhon Orakçal, Beliz; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Development in the construction industry has leaded most of the construction companies to undertake more complex projects than before, which are generally executed concurrently. Therefore, project management routines of the companies may not support effective management of multi-projects. Project portfolio management approach has been suggested to meet requirements for coordinating multi-projects to meet strategic objectives under limited resources. Since project portfolio management requires a comprehensiv...
A Multi agent risk analysis and sharing platform for international construction projects Dağkıran, Gülşah; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The risks and complexities that are naturally inherent with construction projects and the diverging interests of the parties involved, cause deviations from the project objectives and make claims an unavoidable consequence in construction projects. Risk management is accepted as one of the critical success factors to handle the claim management process effectively. In construction management literature, while there are several studies to develop a mechanism for risk management, decision making and dispute r...
Development of a knowledge-based risk mapping tool for International Construction Projects Yıldız, Açelya Ecem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Due to its high-risk nature, international construction projects are more vulnerable to adverse changes in project environment and company objectives. To achieve successful project outcomes, early provision of risks has a vital place in managing construction projects. Within the literature, several risk assessment methodologies have been offered to simulate probable consequences of risks. The majority of the proposed methodologies are limited in reflection of real project conditions as they require probabil...
