The market for Initial Public Offerings has never been more complex or challenging. For privately held companies, “being public”– choosing to act as a public company – may yield tangible financial value. Going public requires sound business reporting adherence to strict Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) compliance rules and the involvement of numerous trusted advisors to successfully survive the process. Not only will companies need to make disclosures like executive compensation, but financial statement disclosure requirements will also increase dramatically. Public company disclosures are governed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and by the SFC. If your company is in a highly regulated industry, you may be subject to even more disclosure requirements.

We provide the following services in this domain:

• Diagnostic study to assess the impacts of accounting GAAP chosen by management for the purposes of financial reporting at the time of listing.
• Consolidated or carved out financial statements are generally required by companies before going for listing. We can help companies in preparing these financial statements under the respective GAAP.
• On call advisory to address the financial reporting queries on complex transactions.
• Assess and advise on the different types of ESOP schemes evaluated by the promoter group.
• Augment the technical skills of the finance function by providing training under IFRS.
