This is a descriptive study, because it describes the characteristics of the articles analyzed; and this is also a qualitative research because it does not use statistical procedures. In order to obtain the articles, the words Corporate Governance and Agency Theory were used at the search on SPELL that has a good acceptance and easy access. The number of articles found was 31 and 11 were excluded because they did not respond to the requirements of this research. These articles were published in 24 journals, but with the exclusion of some articles through reading of abstracts and theoretical references, 7 journals of this research were also excluded.
