Sample SMMM Yeterlilik Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the SMMM Yeterlilik exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Turkish Accounting Standard TMS 2 (Inventories / Stoklar), how must inventories be measured on the balance sheet date?
A.At the lower of cost and net realizable value (Maliyet ve net gerçekleşebilir değerin düşük olanı ile)
B.At historical cost without regard to market price declines
C.At fair value less costs of disposal in all circumstances
D.At replacement cost (yenileme maliyeti) under current price indices
Explanation: Under TMS 2 paragraph 9, inventories must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (net gerçekleşebilir değer). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated completion and selling costs.
2An enterprise holds 100,000 USD in its foreign currency bank account, recorded at 30.00 TL/USD. Assume the applicable year-end valuation rate is 35.00 TL/USD. Which exchange revaluation entry is correct under the Uniform Chart of Accounts?
A.Debit 102 Bankalar 500,000 TL; Credit 646 Kambiyo Kârları 500,000 TL
B.Debit 656 Kambiyo Zararları 500,000 TL; Credit 102 Bankalar 500,000 TL
C.Debit 102 Bankalar 500,000 TL; Credit 549 Özel Fonlar 500,000 TL
D.Debit 102 Bankalar 3,500,000 TL; Credit 600 Yurtiçi Satışlar 3,500,000 TL
Explanation: Carrying book value = 100,000 * 30.00 = 3,000,000 TL. Year-end revalued amount = 100,000 * 35.00 = 3,500,000 TL. Positive foreign exchange valuation gain = 500,000 TL, recorded by debiting 102 Bankalar and crediting 646 Kambiyo Kârları under VUK Article 280.
3Under Turkish Accounting Standard TMS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment / Maddi Duran Varlıklar), which of the following costs CANNOT be capitalized into the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment?
A.Costs of opening a new facility or introducing a new product or service (including advertising)
B.Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes
C.Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended operation
D.Initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site
Explanation: Under TMS 16 paragraph 19, costs of opening a new facility, costs of introducing a new product or service (advertising and promotional activities), costs of conducting business in a new location, and general administrative overheads are expensed as incurred and cannot be capitalized.
4Under TFRS 16 (Leases / Kiralamalar), how does a lessee recognize an operational property lease with a 5-year term and significant lease payments on initial recognition?
A.Recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, with the liability initially based on the present value of unpaid lease payments
B.Expense the monthly rental payments directly to operating profit or loss on a straight-line basis without balance sheet recognition
C.Record the entire fair value of the leased building as an owned freehold asset under Account 252 Binalar
D.Credit paid-in capital and debit long-term deferred expenses
Explanation: At commencement, the lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Unpaid lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable, otherwise the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The asset's cost also reflects relevant prepayments, incentives, initial direct costs and restoration obligations, so it need not equal the liability.
5A bond has a face value of 1,000 TL and a stated annual coupon rate of 12%, paid in two equal semiannual installments. What is each coupon payment before tax?
A.60 TL
B.120 TL
C.12 TL
D.240 TL
Explanation: The annual coupon is 1,000 × 12% = 120 TL. Dividing it between two equal payments gives 60 TL per semiannual payment. A bond's coupon rate is distinct from its market yield.
6Which item is normally non-monetary when classifying balances for inflation accounting? Assume ordinary fixed-money receivables and bank balances, and distinguish classification from any temporary tax-law suspension of adjustment.
A.Stoklar (Inventories / Account 153)
B.Kasa (Cash on Hand / Account 100)
C.Bankalar (Bank Accounts / Account 102)
D.Alıcılar (Trade Receivables / Account 120)
Explanation: Non-monetary items are assets and liabilities whose purchasing power changes with inflation and whose nominal values are not fixed in money terms, such as Inventories (Stoklar), Tangible Assets (Maddi Duran Varlıklar), and Equity Capital (Özkaynaklar).
7Under TFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers / Müşteri Sözleşmelerinden Hasılat), what is the core 5-step model for revenue recognition?
A.Identify contract -> Identify performance obligations -> Determine transaction price -> Allocate price to obligations -> Recognize revenue as obligations are satisfied
B.Receive cash -> Issue invoice -> Ship goods -> Record gross profit -> Transfer VAT
C.Sign contract -> Credit 600 -> Debit 120 -> Pay commission -> File declaration
D.Estimate market price -> Apply discount -> Deliver goods -> Wait for warranty expiration -> Recognize revenue
Explanation: TFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive five-step model: 1. Identify contract with customer, 2. Identify performance obligations (edim yükümlülükleri), 3. Determine transaction price, 4. Allocate transaction price to performance obligations, 5. Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
8An enterprise holds 10,000 listed shares purchased for trading at 50 TL per share. At year-end the quoted price is 62 TL. Under TFRS 9 (Financial Instruments), how is the 120,000 TL fair value gain recognized?
A.In profit or loss (Kâr veya Zarar) as the gain on remeasurement of trading investments
B.Directly in equity as a revaluation surplus without affecting the income statement
C.Deferred on the balance sheet until the shares are actually sold
D.Credited directly to the statutory legal reserve under Account 540
Explanation: Trading equity investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss under TFRS 9. The gain is 10,000 × (62 − 50) = 120,000 TL. Recognition does not wait for a sale, and the non-trading equity FVOCI election is unavailable for these trading shares.
9Under Turkish accounting rules, which account in Group 69 is debited to record the corporate income tax provision for the current year (dönem kârı vergi ve diğer yasal yükümlülük karşılıkları)?
A.691 Dönem Kârı Vergi ve Diğer Yasal Yükümlülük Karşılıkları (-)
B.690 Dönem Kârı veya Zararı
C.692 Dönem Net Kârı veya Zararı
D.370 Dönem Kârı Vergi ve Diğer Yasal Yükümlülük Karşılıkları
Explanation: Account 691 is the income statement provision account debited to recognize the corporate tax charge against pre-tax profit (690), with the corresponding liability credited to Account 370 in the balance sheet. The net difference is transferred to 692 Dönem Net Kârı veya Zararı.
10Under TMS 38 (Intangible Assets / Maddi Olmayan Duran Varlıklar), which phase of an internal software project may be capitalized as an intangible asset once specific technological and commercial feasibility criteria are satisfied?
A.Geliştirme Aşaması (Development Phase)
B.Araştırma Aşaması (Research Phase)
C.Fikir ve Konsept Aşaması (Ideation Phase)
D.Piyasa Araştırması Aşaması (Market Research Phase)
Explanation: TMS 38 permits development expenditure to be capitalized only when all recognition criteria are demonstrated. These include feasibility, intention and ability to complete and use or sell, probable benefits, adequate technical and financial resources, and reliable measurement. Research expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMMM Yeterlilik Sınavı?

It is the comprehensive professional licensing examination administered by TÜRMOB and TESMER that trainees must pass following completion of their 3-year practical internship to receive the official SMMM license and practice as a Certified Public Accountant in Turkey.

What format does the official SMMM exam use in 2026?

Starting from the 2026/1 examination period, TÜRMOB and TESMER transitioned the examination to a multiple-choice testing format consisting of 20 questions per subject paper with a 4-wrong-deducts-1-correct penalty factor.

What are the passing criteria for the SMMM exam?

Each examination subject must be at least 50/100. The overall average must be at least 60/100, with the trainee evaluation grade average (tezkiye) included as a separate subject under the standard trainee route. It is therefore incorrect to calculate the qualifying average using only the eight examination scores.
