In this study, the use of game theory in the field of accounting is addressed. Information is presented to decision-makers, and game theory emerges as a concept that can be applied in decision-making processes in accounting, In this sense, it is seen that there are academic studies that include game theory applications on issues such as profit management, cost distribution, independent audit and power of attorney theory that can be evaluated in accounting issues.
