The establishment of corporate governance system is vital for the regulator to regulate the market, for the firms to improve their performance and for the investors to protect their interests.

The data was gathered from those firms listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange from 2005 to 2009. The results are as expected except that the proxy of information transparency measured by the ratio of long-term investment in stocks performs better than the other proxy which is measured by the assessment results of disclosure ranking system or Information Transparency and Disclosure Ranking System (ITDRS). The ranking system was launched by the Securities and Future Institute (SFI), entrusted by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) and the OTC.
