Fed Financial

Where can I find the answer to: why is there free financial information from a company for everyone to see?

Public Comments

1. Where can you find the answer? OR what is the answer to that question? Companies are required to publish their financial information if they are a publicly traded company (are listed on a stock market somewhere). IF a public utility isn't a public company (not likely) then they will still have do publish their info when they go for rate hearings. And, mutual insurance companies are required by law to publish their data so shareholders can evaluate the financial health of the company of which they have part ownership as policy holders.
2. It is the Federal law for companies to file and provide public financial disclosure
