This work analyses the role of shareholder voting rights on the adoption of internal control mechanisms by firms from both a small emerging and developed economies. It also studies the influence that sector of activity and company size have on these mechanisms. The sample is comprised of publicly traded companies from Portugal and the United Kingdom. Data analysis using path analysis and multiple linear regression shows that shareholder ownership has a weak influence on control mechanisms. It also reveals that sector of activity and company size have differing influences on control mechanisms in differing contexts.
