This research work compiles several theoretical and empirical studies that will allow a better understanding of the positive impact generated by good corporate governance in companies and their relationship in environments where managerial discretion is present. At the same time, the different mechanisms that organizations can use for adequate supervision and control of the activities carried out by senior managers are mentioned, in such a way as to minimize the risk of manipulation of financial information, also called earnings management, in the which the high commands prioritize their own benefit through opportunistic decisions. This type of decision can harm the interests of the shareholders, generating losses in the company. Along the same lines, other discretionary options are presented by adjustments for accruals or also called accruals management, in which the accounting information is compromised. Therefore, we highlight the importance of good governance to generate wealth and increase the value of the company, reducing the risk of fraudulent operations. On the other hand, the concepts of different authors about discretion are shown. As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, an environment with high discretion, that is, with a wide freedom of action by senior officials, presents a high risk of manipulation and personal benefits; however, it should not always be considered a bad element in work environments, since, by reducing discretion, we can limit the strategic decisions of managers, who demonstrate their professionalism to obtain good results. This has generated controversy among different authors and they have carried out empirical studies to demonstrate the above. As a result of these investigations, it is possible to affirm that discretion is good when it is accompanied by governance mechanisms, that is, we can give freedom of action to the professionals in charge of the company with proper supervision of the board or an audit to protect the interests of shareholders.
