Flow of Initial Public Offerings

Services Provided

01. Short-term Review

By closely examining and analyzing accounting processing, design and implementation of internal controls, and business management systems, we identify issues to be addressed before the initial public offering.

Checkpoints

  • Are the appropriate accounting policies applied?
  • Were there any accounting irregularities in previous years?
  • Is the corporate governance functioning properly?

02. Audit of Financial Statements

By conducting an audit during the preparation for an IPO, we confirm its progress and make sure there are not any problems that may impede the process. We conduct audits in a timely manner and issue an audit certificate for the most recent two years.

Documentation of Capital Policy

Capital policy is a plan regarding shareholder structure and procurement of funds. Specifically, it refers to the process of when, to whom, for how much, and how to transfer stocks and increase capital.
