Yıllardır kâr yönetimi uygulamaları nedeni ile yaşanan muhasebe skandalları, şirketlerin esnek muhasebe politikaları çerçevesinde hazırladıkları finansal raporlara olan güveni sarsmaktadır. Bu çerçevede kâr yönetimi uygulamalarını önlemede ve finansal raporların doğruluğunu teminat altına almada kurumsal yönetim uygulamaları temel unsur olarak görülmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı 2005-2010 yılları arasında BORSA İSTANBUL A.Ş.’ ye kote şirketlerin içsel kurumsal yönetim mekanizmaları ile kâr yönetimi arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Analiz kısmında önce ihtiyari tahakkuklar hesaplanmıştır Bu amaçla kullanılan 4 farklı ihtiyari tahakkuk modelinin değişen varyans sorunları halledildikten sonra modeller dengeli havuzlanmış panel veri analizi tekniği ile tahminlenmiştir ve Türkiye de kâr yönetimini ölçen en iyi tahakkuk modeli “Larcker, Richardson Modeli” olarak tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra kâr yönetimi katsayıları ile içsel kurumsal yönetim mekanizmaları arasındaki ilişki de panel veri analizi ile tahminlenmiştir. Çalışmanın analiz sonuçlarına göre kâr yönetimi uygulamalarını azaltan kurumsal yönetim mekanizmaları; yönetim kurulu ve denetim komitesindeki icracı olmayan üye sayısının çokluğu ile denetim komitesi üye sayısı olmuştur. Aktif büyüklüğü de kâr yönetimini arttıran bir unsur olarak tespit edilmiştir
