Going Public: Unlocking Capital Potential

In this final session of Going Public: Unlocking Capital Potential, we’ll focus on the critical infrastructure required to successfully operate as a public company. While the first three sessions have prepared you to get your company to the IPO stage, this session will ensure you are equipped to manage ongoing regulatory requirements and compliance post-offering.

Join Weaver’s leadership from the Public Company practice as we walk you through the essential components of public company operations, including SEC reporting obligations, income tax considerations and the internal controls needed to maintain a solid financial infrastructure. We will conclude with a panel discussion where our speakers share valuable lessons learned from their own experiences navigating the public company landscape.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the regulatory reporting requirements, including K, Q, and proxy filings and how they differ from private company reporting.
• Gain insight into tax complexities, particularly ASC 740 and common issues that arise during the transition to a public company.
• Learn about the importance of cybersecurity, business process controls and SOX compliance to protect your organization and ensure long-term success.

This session will provide you with actionable insights on maintaining compliance, safeguarding your company’s assets, and building a solid operational foundation as a newly public entity.
