Shareholders in dark about Cos' books

By going through the quarterly profit and loss statements of a listed company, the shareholders can assess its financial position. Normally listed companies publish their quarterly profit and loss statements on the website of Dhaka Stock Exchange four times a year. But it is regrettable that some listed companies do not publish their quarterly profit and loss statements at all and declare dividend at year end. As a result, the shareholders remain in the dark all the year about the financial position of the companies. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should look into this matter and make all the listed companies to publish their quarterly profit and loss statements in public interest.
