توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من النتائج كان أبرزها أن مدقق الحسابات يقيم عمله بأنه ذو أداء مرتفع بينما يرى المستثمر المؤسسي بأن أداء المدقق ليس بمستوى التوقع منه (فجوة الأداء). كما أظهرت نتائج هذه الدراسة وجود أثر ذو دلالة إحصائية لفجوة توقعات الأداء في التدقيق على مدى إستخدام المعلومات المنشورة على الموقع الإلكتروني للشركة وكان هذا الأثر عكسياً أي أنه كلما ارتفعت فجوة الأداء قل استخدام المستثمرين المؤسسيين للمعلومات المنشورة على الإنترنت.
