In addition to financial performances of the firms, corporate governance application levels also getting important day by day. The objective of this study is to determine inefficiency reasons of the firms constituting the Corporate Governance Index of Turkey.

According to the results, none of the index firms in the financial sector was able to show full operational efficiency between 2010 and 2013. Additionally, the findings indicate that the firms were not managed efficiently, operated in unfitting scales and could have produced products with less input.
