Content analysis techniques were used to analyse the websites of 42 corporations for references to IT governance, using an IT control framework. The corporations appeared to see little advantage in disclosing IT governance issues. However, those corporations acknowledged as corporate governance exemplars had higher levels of disclosure on IT governance.
