Corporate governance is “the” major hurdle for Foreign Direct
Investment in Turkey.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PRIVATE EQUITY
Current Practice
Private Equity Fix
· Family owned companies with
informal decision making
· Adventurous tax management
to avoid paying inflation taxes
· Complex webs of related party
companies
· Absence of realistic management
reporting due to complex structure
· Inability to eliminate underperforming
shareholders in management positions
· Functioning Board and proper
business planning processes
· Professional and “legal” tax
management
· Consolidated and manageable
structures
· Investment in systems to report
correct key indicators on time
· Enforcing the meritocracy from the
Board down to management
PE will improve
corporate governance and
catalyze FDI to portfolio
companies
