The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of knowledge management in the process of corporate governance. Qualitative research method was adopted in the research and document analysis was used as a data collection tool. During the analysis process, themes and categories related to corporate governance and knowledge management were created. Then, as a result of the data obtained, separate codes and expressions were created for each category and interpreted. Then the obtained data were compared in the literature. As a result of the research, it has been determined that knowledge management is an important factor for the successful continuation of the corporate governance process. Considering the limitations of the research, open-ended questions could not be asked because the necessary people for the interview method could not be reached. Therefore, different data acquisition methods have been focused on. This constitutes the biggest limitation of the study. Although there are many studies on corporate governance and knowledge management in the literature, the number of studies in which the two concepts are discussed together is limited. This situation increases the importance of the paper.
