A Research on the Association between Corporate Governance and Corporate Performance in Turkish Energy Sector

Abstract

Today’s harsh market conditions prompt companies
to allocate the highest level of emphasis on corporate
performance. However, in some cases interests of management
and shareholders may clash. Subsequently providing investors
with timely, accurate and valid information in today’s ever
changing economic environment is vital for transparency. Aim of
this paper is to measure the association between corporate
governance and corporate performance within companies in the
energy sector listed at Borsa Istanbul (formerly known as
Istanbul Stock Exchange).
