The study found many results, one of the most important results was the existence of the intellectual impact of cyber governance in the Correct application of cloud accounting, where it was found that ( Cybersecurity policy ) came first, which explained (65.5%) of the variance in the dependent variable, and when adding (Cyber Information Security Management ) the rate of interpretation increased to ( 72.9%) and the addition of the (Cybersecurity Program) increased the rate of interpretation to (75.7%). The addition of (cyber risk assessment and management) has led to an increase in the rate of interpretation to (77.0%), while the rate of interpretation reached to (77.8%) when adding (cybersecurity governance’s requirements).
