The study is based on a model developed to determine firms' financial security levels. The 5-year (2013-2017) financial statement data of 18 firms trading on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (Turkey) were used. Multiple regression analysis was performed on the book value, current ratio, acid-test ratio, inventory turnover, receivables turnover ratio, fixed asset turnover ratio, asset turnover, debt ratio, interest coverage ratio, net profit ratio, gross profit ratio, return on assets ratio and Equity dividend ratio calculated from the financial table data of the firms.

It is recommended that companies use their assets efficiently and have optimal liquidity in order to ensure financial security.
