The question applies only to corporations because only corporations issue publicly traded stock. Stockholders that own shares of the corporation's stock only have the right to see publicly disclosed financial statements. That includes an Income Statement and a Balance Sheet Statement. These are issued at least annually but usually quarterly. Legally, the corporation can only issue these statements at times when the information is available to all stoholders. Detailed expense reports are not issued to stockholders. You can find most Financial Statements online at nasdaq.com.
To find stockholders' equity in a company's financial statements, you subtract the total liabilities from the total assets listed on the balance sheet. This calculation represents the amount of the company's assets that belong to the stockholders after all debts are paid off.
Business firms, particularly those with stockholders, must prepare honest and conservative financial statements.

The significance of the book value being equal to stockholders' equity in a company's financial statements is that it represents the value of the company's assets that belong to the shareholders after all liabilities have been paid off. This metric is important for investors as it provides insight into the true worth of the company based on its assets and liabilities.
