A guide for North American companies listing on the US securities markets


Taking a company through a public offering on the US securities market is a huge undertaking for any entrepreneur. An IPO gives a company an opportunity to access needed funds for business expansion. At the same time, an IPO changes the way a company operates and subjects the firm to various financial filings.

This guide can help companies to anticipate what may be required of them in their dealing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, other US regulators, investors and analysts. PricewaterhouseCoopers' global capital markets group outlines the important role accountants play in a public offering and highlights how Sarbanes-Oxley has raised the bar on the amount of advance preparation and careful planning for a successful IPO.
