While the unpredictability of the market in recent years has made it difficult for companies to successfully navigate an IPO, as of January this year, valuations may be improving, volatility is somewhat moderating, and interest rates are at bay for now.

IPO expert, Anil Persad, CPA, sits down with IPO Edge to discuss. #IPO #IPOReadiness #PublicCompany

I think so. I think companies are very mindful of, you know, the current landscape, right? There's a lot of challenges leading up to that IPO, right? First and foremost, it's around the audit preparation, right. So companies that are going IPO, they need to step up from a private company audit to that of a public company audit. There's a lot more rigor that goes into that. So having all the technical documentation done, taking stock of the technical merits and being able to operationalize that, that becomes important. Also in terms of you know, forecasting and FBA, companies haven't really flexed those muscles before, right? So creating that function is equally important. Socks, internal controls, especially as it pertains to the IT function within an organization, those are areas that companies also have challenges and like I said earlier, right, getting information out of the system especially as it pertains to quarterly reporting. Often times these companies, they've only done annual audits. Yeah, they haven't had to. The need to report on a quarterly basis, so things like cut off tax accruals, regular accruals, they haven't had a cadence to do those quarterly, right. So that becomes pretty imperative now in terms of those challenges leading up to public companies.
