The main source of these problems is asymmetric information, which implies an agency cost for the principal. Agency theory, which is still one of the fundamental theories in corporate finance, focuses on minimizing costs in agency relations. This study critically evaluates the principal-agent relations, focusing on the interaction between the shareholder-manager and bondholder-shareholder in corporate finance.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAgency theory: a review in financeArticle10.18506/anemon.7123511329413234163168
