The study concludes with the extraction of results and the presentation of important recommendations. Using the five critical qualitative characteristics identified by the International Accounting Standards Board, this study explores how agency theory affects the application of accounting in Jordanian industrial companies. The study delves into the ways in which the structural features of agency theory including accounting applications in Jordanian industrial companies, and enhancement techniques impact the reliability and use of agency theory in accounting practices within these companies, based on agency theory.
