Especially after recent structural reformations, Borsa Istanbul’s (BIST) predictability and stability is a much bigger concern for authorities and regulatory institutions in Turkey as well. Central Bank of Republic of Turkey’s (CBRT) decision to retarget its objectives from just maintaining price stability to also maintaining financial stability may be an outcome of this new perspective. It is thought that when concluding interest rate decisions, CBRT considers volatility of stock market as an important factor.
In this study, the changes in policy rate announced by CBRT’s effects on volatility of BIST 100 session closing prices are analyzed under structural breaks for period between 02.01.2002 - 15.11.2013. Results of analysis indicate that a decision of change in policy rate by CBRT has a negative impact on volatility of BIST 100 index session closing prices. Additionally, when structural breaks are added through Kappa 2, a modified algorithm of iterative cumulative sum of squares (ICSS) model, there is a significant reduction in persistence of volatility on closing price series.

Research paper thumbnail of The Role of Internal Auditing and Corporate Governance in Enterprise Risk Management: Empirical Evidence on Non-Financial Firms Listed in Istanbul Stock Exchange 1

The scope of internal auditing has widened in recent years due to increasing business complexity ... more The scope of internal auditing has widened in recent years due to increasing business complexity and the consequences of corporate scandals. Being aware of the big picture is fundamental for internal auditing to contribute to the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and corporate governance in an organization. Internal auditing can enforce the ERM process, however enterprise-wide initiatives necessitate strong support from top management and board members to initiate successfully and carry on the strategic management objectives. Comprehending an organization's business strategy is the key for a successful ERM program, in other words, it is impossible to prioritize risks without understanding the key strategic objectives of a business. Helping an organization to prioritize risks is as vital as assessing risks for the internal audit plan. Auditors utilize risk-based approaches that differentiate risks based on impact, likelihood, and other factors. Prioritization is important for the best possible use of scarce resources as well as for directing resources where they can produce the best results. Hence, internal auditors can support the establishment of risk steering committees with a common risk language and business risk method, and recommend an ERM road map with time lines. They can also assist an initial top-down risk assessment, ensure the organization to have risk owners responsible for addressing the top risks, and encourage development of key risk indicators. Internal auditors can use their numerous skills to facilitate an organization to develop its ERM and corporate governance programs and to test and report results. In this paper, we aim at analyzing the role of internal auditing and corporate governance in Enterprise Risk Management by providing empirical evidence on the Turkish non-financial firms listed in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). We use publicly available information of these firms announced via their annual reports, corporate governance compliance reports and also their daily stock prices to build our empirical model. The paper is organized as follows: Firstly, we present the role of modern internal auditing and corporate governance by relating these issues to the relevant literature on ERM, corporate governance and internal auditing. Secondly, we provide facts and figures on Turkish experience depending on the selected non-financial firm data listed at ISE. We then explain the data, methodology, and empirical model. Finally, based on the empirical findings we conclude the paper by some policy recommendations.
