Moreover, it is expected that these positive results reflect on the stock prices by ensuring the efficient market condition. In this context, the presence of any relation between application level of corporate governance principles and performances of the companies listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) National 100 Index has been tested. In this framework, corporate governance rating, which represents the application level of the companies to the corporate governance principles, has been performed. Afterwards, it has been investigated whether application level of corporate governance principles has an effect on return on asset, return on equity and stock return assessing firm performance through the multiple hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of the study, it has been revealed that a significant and positive relationship exists between the companies' application level of the corporate governance principles and return on asset and return on equity.
