Turkey became the first
country to provide the ability for
all companies quoted on exchange
to attend the general assemblies
online as of the 1st of October,
2013. E-GKS is an example
for many countries with the
innovations it brings as well as
winning the FSTech Awards 2013
“Best Online Service” award.
Turkey, with its innovation
in the fields of online
communication and e-voting is
providing an example for many
countries. Developed as per
the Turkish Trade Law’s Article
#1527 in regards to the obligation
of exchange quoted companies
to hold general assemblies by the
Central Registry Organization
(MKK), the e-General Assembly
System (e-GKS) is an online
technology which will provide
great ease in holding annual
general meetings.
Proving especially useful for
companies with shareholders
abroad, the system provides
such benefits as drops in
general assembly costs, secure
recordkeeping, precise voting,
institutional management
compliance, ease of general
assembly registry, ease of access
for records.
