MKK’s Electronic Board of Directors System (e-YKS) Enables Companies to Fulfill Their e-Ledger Obligations Securely

With e-YKS, board of directors' resolutions are electronically stored in full compliance with the regulations of the Ministry of Trade.

As of July 1,2025, Board of Directors' Resolution Books (and Board of Managers' Books for limited liability companies) are required to be  kept electronically, in accordance with the Communiqué on Keeping Commercial Books Not Related to the Accounting of the Business in Electronic Form, jointly issued by by the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Treasury and Finance.

Companies subject to this Communiqué will be able to scan and upload their board resolutions to the Ministry of Trade’s Electronic Board Decisions System (ETDS), while also storing them securely via MKK’s Electronic Board of Directors System (e-YKS). With this capability, companies using e-YKS will no longer need to transfer their resolutions to another platform.

Dr. Ekrem ARIKAN, CEO and Board Member of Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu, shared the following remarks:

"As Türkiye’s Central Securities Depository and Trade Repository, we continue to serve as a trusted provider of corporate governance technologies, with globally recognized best practices. Our Electronic General Assembly System (e-GMS) has been in use since 2012, and we have successfully exported it to other markets. This year, the OECD selected e-GMS as a model application and highlighted it in its publications. 

We have been long collaborated with the Ministry of Trade and the Capital Markets Board to jointly develop and enhance our corporate governance solutions. e-YKS, one of these innovative services, was introduced in 2019 as a result of our im-house R&D efforts."

Noting that hundreds of companies have already adopted e-YKS, Dr. ARIKAN added:
"The system is being used with high satisfaction and trust. Among our users are private and public sector companies, over twenty banks, group companies of major Turkish holdings, nearly a hundred publicly listed firms, and prominent organisations including leading professional associations.

When requested by companies, meeting and decision numbers can be automatically transmitted to the Ministry's ETDS system, ensuring compliance with the e-LEDger requirements under the new regulation. 
We take pride in offering e-YKS to support the corporate governance processes of our companies, each of which we view as a vital component of Türkiye’s economic foundation."

e-YKS stands out as a pioneering corporate governance tool, enabling legally valid board and committee meetings to be held electronically. Decisions taken – and any uploaded documents- can be signed, with electronic signatures by authorized individuals. 

Installed on companies’ internal systems, e-YKS operates with an architecture that is fully closed to third party access and meets high-level security standards.

The system also ensures complete compliance with the Communiqué through its Electronic Resolution Book module, where both digitally and manually signed board resolutions are stored electronically.
