The average score of large-cap firms that set up sub-boards of directors under the provisions of Circular 155 reached 64.13%, meanwhile the score of large-cap firms without sub-boardsof directors reached 57.61%. In addition, average score of the large-cap firms that had internal rules of corporate governance was60.82%, higher than those without the rules of 55.36%.

According to HNX, the score of information disclosure and transparency was closely connected with earnings, which was evaluated upon firms’ return-on-equity (ROE) and return-on-asset (ROA) ratios. A ROA growth rate of 0.1 per cent and ROE growth rate of 0.12 per cent mean the firm’s score gained 1 per cent.This is good evidence to encourage and boost firms to better comply with regulations and practices on information disclosure and transparency.
