AfterAll figures reflect 2026 pricing and are presented in both Turkish Lira (TRY) and US Dollars (USD) at an approximate exchange rate of 47 TRY per USD. Limited Liability Company (Ltd. Sti.) minimum capital is 50,000 TRY, and Joint Stock Company (A.S.) minimum capital is 250,000 TRY. Independent audit is mandatory only for companies exceeding certain thresholds (as of 2026, 500 million TRY in assets or 1 billion TRY in revenue, alongside 150+ employees).
Why: The article used a stale mid-2024 USD/TRY rate (32.2) instead of the current July 2026 rate (approximately 47), and cited pre-2024 minimum capital (10,000/50,000 TRY) and stale 2018-2022 audit thresholds (35M/70M TRY) instead of the current Presidential-Decree figures (50,000/250,000 TRY capital; 500M/1B TRY audit thresholds).
