Disciplinary penalties refer to the sanctions imposed on state officers by the administration against the disciplinary offense that occurs in case of violation of the legal regulations. Disciplinary penalties are individual administrative actions in terms of their legal nature. In order for the disciplinary punishment which is an individual administrative act made by the administration, it is necessary to comply with the law in terms of legal authority, legal form, reason, subject and purpose. “Audit” constitutes an important stage of ensuring efficiency in public administration. The purpose of the audit is to provide better management by preventing unlawful situations. While disciplinary punishments can be audited in two ways: administrative application or judicial application, it has been possible to monitor disciplinary punishments by the Turkish Ombudsman Institution after the 2010 constitutional amendment. Considering that there is not enough regulation in the legislation on disciplinary law, many evaluations are made that can guide the administration in compliance with the judicial decisions while auditing complaints about disciplinary punishments in the decisions of the Turkish Ombudsman Institution. In this study, the evaluations of Turkish Ombudsman Institution about the filing of a disciplinary investigation, investigative powers, and the right of defense, the disciplinary investigation report, and the imposition of disciplinary punishment, the statute of limitations, and recommendations to the administration were systematically examined and many important issues in terms of the development of disciplinary law have been explained.
