Özet:

Financial management is indispensable for all. Having financial knowledge, accessing and analyzing is a vital subject for all successful. Corporate managers must understand the financial information and follow the legal regulations that affect their corporate financial statements. Most scientific studies indicate that women entrepreneurs consult their husbands, families and friends while making financial decisions. Financial decisions must be made in accordance with the "financial management science". Since all companies and the financial statements of these companies have specific characteristics to the company, decisions must be made by the "financial consultant". The aim of this study is to measure the level of financial knowledge that women entrepreneurs have in small and medium-sized enterprises managed by women. In Turkey, the new Turkish Trade Act, which will enter into force after 2012, will have a profound impact on the accounting and financial practices, especially in the KOBI. In this study, women entrepreneurs who are members and owners of the Women Entrepreneurs' Board of the Edirne Chamber of Industry and Commerce have been addressed questions about financial management and the new trade law with the "face-to-face conversation method" to women entrepreneurs. The results show that women entrepreneurs are inadequate in the new Turkish Trade Law and financial matters and that "continuous business training" is important for women entrepreneurs.
