Abstract:

In this paper corporate governance practices of Turkish non-financial service sector firms listed in ISE

are analyzed. The sample consists of twenty-nine firms. Turkish non-financial service sector is chosen

because it is one of the most powerful forces of Turkish economy. Moreover, since these firms are obliged

to publish corporate governance reports yearly, they are more likely to have “better” corporate

governance practices than other non-financial service sector firms (not listed in ISE). The analysis is

based on the corporate governance reports, annual reports, financial statements and articles of

associations of the firms. The corporate governance practices of these firms are analyzed as to four main

criteria: shareholders, public disclosure-transparency, stakeholders and board of directors.
