Türkiye Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) Companies

The Public Disclosure Platform (Kamuyu Aydınlatma Platformu, KAP) is the statutory disclosure channel for the Turkish capital markets. Under the Capital Markets Law No. 6362 and the Capital Markets Board's Public Disclosure Platform Communiqué, all information subject to public disclosure by listed companies, investment firms, portfolio management companies, independent audit firms and other capital-market institutions must be filed on KAP with an electronic signature.

The dataset covers all KAP members, with the shareholders, officers and subsidiaries from their general information pages. Listed companies disclose shareholders holding 5% or more of the capital, directly and indirectly; other members disclose their full shareholding structure. Indirect holdings are ownership links from the indirect holder to the company, with the ownership type "indirect". Board members also declare their own percentage of the capital, which is included as an ownership link without an ownership type. Ownership and board links are dated with the filing that last updated them, and link to that filing where KAP gives one.

KAP is a disclosure platform: the content is declared by the issuing companies under a legal obligation and is not independently verified by MKK or the Capital Markets Board. Members without a general information page on KAP (issuers of debt instruments that are not traded on the exchange, market institutions and some other member types) are included with their identifiers only. National identity numbers of natural persons are not included.
