However, by analyzing the variable LIQ, we notice that the estimated value of its coefficient had a negative and significant sign at 5%, indicating an inverse relation. Thus, it is understood that the higher stock market liquidity of a company, the lower the score assigned to the variable DDI, negatively impacting on compliance with the CPC 40(R1) and, by implication, having a negative impact on reducing information asymmetry as for the use of derivatives. This outcome is contrary to the expected by the disclosure theory and the findings by Lanzana (2004). Assessing the relation between disclosure and governance, Lanzana (2004) showed that companies whose shares have higher liquidity tend to have a higher disclosure level. Thus, it is possible to conjecture that the results found by Lanzana (2004) may not converge to the disclosure theory related to HA and compliance with the CPC 40(R1).
