TEMSİL MALİYETLERİ VE YÖNETİM KURULU YAPISI: BIST KURUMSAL YÖNETİM ENDEKSİNDEKİ İMALAT SANAYİ FİRMALARI ÜZERİNE BİR UYGULAMA

Bu çalışmada BİST Kurumsal yönetim endeksinde yer alan 18 imalat sanayi firmasının 2006-2016 yılları arasındaki temsil maliyetleri ile yönetim kurulu yapısı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Temsil maliyetleri serbest nakit akımları ve büyüme fırsatları oranı ile temsil edilirken, yönetim kurulu büyüklüğü, bağımsız üye sayısı ve CEO ikiliği yönetim kurulu yapısına ilişkin değişkenler olarak belirlenmiştir. Ampirik sonuçlara göre yönetim kurulu büyüklüğü ile temsil maliyetleri arasında ters yönlü ilişki, bağımsız üye sayısı ile temsil maliyetleri arasına pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ancak yönetim ve sahiplik ayrımını ifade eden CEO ikililiğiyle temsil maliyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar yönetim kurulu yapısının temsil maliyetler üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
