<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study aims to develop a scale to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards individual peace. The items of the scale have been prepared by the researcher based on a literature review. The study sample included 223 eight grade students from different schools in the Mamak district of Ankara for the 2015-2016 school year. At the end of the analysis, the correlation coefficients obtained from item-factor total and adjusted correlation were found to be above .21 and all items were statistically significant. In the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the scale items were split into four dimensions: "State before Peace", "Factors for Peace", "Factors for Sulking" and "Assitance in Peacemaking". The Chi-square (X2) value appropriate for the model developed based on the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and statistical significance levels showed that the proposed model was appropriate for the collected data. Reliability coefficients tested for the whole scale and its sub-dimensions revealed that the scale was suitable to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards peace.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortaokul sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin bireysel barışa yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesinde kullanılacak bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir.

This paper provides a tax audit guide, gathering all indirect audit methods applied both in Greece and abroad. It also identifies the size of hidden tax base and of the amounts that could be revealed and taxed. The aim of the current study is to present the indirect audit methods, as this is the imperative future of tax audits. Indirect methods are applied mainly to individuals, as according to experience, money that has escaped taxation, always ends up in one or more individuals. There are references in the ways in which this fact can be discovered during a tax audit, how to be determined and how understated income will be converted to taxable matter. Problems, opportunities, legislative framework and the overall impact of indirect audit methods are being analyzed in order to reduce tax evasion, in combination with an empirical research conducted as part of this study. A questionnaire that is consisting of 31 questions was completed by 102 tax-employees of the region of Macedonia and Thrace between May 2017 and September 2017. A factor analysis with the method of principal components and with varimax rotation was applied. The relationship among a number of items by grouping them in factors was investigated. Thus, four factors based on 21 questions of our questionnaire, are used for factor analysis. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) value and chi-square value for Bartlett’s test of sphericity were checked whether data are suitable to continue the process of factor analysis. All statistical analysis is conducted with the application of the SPSS version 22 software package. Keywords: Indirect audit, methods, tax audit, income tax, tax evasion.
