Going Public Series: Planning for the Journey Ahead
From building the right team to developing processes and controls, establishing a strong public company infrastructure begins with understanding the people processes and technology infrastructure needs. Our presenters will look at the building blocks to establish a public company foundation, including accounting, audit, governance, legal and regulatory compliance and SEC reporting.

Topics include:
- Overview
