The project entitled “The Impact of Corporate Governance on Access to Finance and the Effect of Access to Finance on Performance and Internationalization of SMEs in Turkey” is funded within the scope of the TUBITAK 3501 Career Development Program. This project aims to analyze corporate governance practices, the influence of firm characteristics on access to finance, and SMEs’ internalization and innovation processes. Our dynamic project team, with the project coordinator, two Ph.D. level researchers, and undergraduate assistants, introduces the KKYE – SMEs’ Corporate Governance Index. With KKYE, we aim to provide SMEs with a specific corporate governance index, which calculates and evaluates each enterprise’s corporate governance score. We constructed the KKYE index after applying it to a sample of SMEs all around Turkey, covering different sectors and regions. Accordingly, SMEs from various industries and cities can calculate their own corporate governance score based on this index and will be able to point out their deficiencies from a corporate governance perspective.
