Shareholders, potential investors, debenture holders, and other stakeholders are all interested in a company's details. Shareholders want to know whether a business is a profitable or losing money, how much dividend it pays, and how much its stock is worth in the market, among other things. Shareholders decide whether to keep or sell their shares based on all of this information. Similarly, prospective investors want to know how much profit a business makes and how much dividend it pays, and they decide to invest based on this knowledge. Moneylenders examine financial statements to determine if it is safe to lend or not to lend. Credit rating agencies might also show interest in these transactions because they provide ratings to companies based on this information.
