The results showed a positive relation between the perception of IFRS and Corporate Governance relationship and the Corporate Governance Score, as the hypothesis suggested. It is determined that the strongest relation is between the perception about IFRS and Disclosure and Transparency Principle relationship and the Disclosure and Transparency Score.
