IPO Services

Are you thinking of taking your company public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO)?

The process of going public is complex and requires a well thought out plan of action and a team to support it. To carry out the process, you may need to add a group of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) advisers to your executive team, which is typically comprised of independent professional confidants, such as your auditors, bankers, lawyers, and consultants.

KPMG provides a wide range of services to address the issues faced by clients on their journey towards an IPO and their preparations for being a listed company.

With an effective and diligent advisory team, management can focus on the strategic elements of the IPO process where their input is critical.

A multidisciplinary team can help deliver against the ambitious timetables of an IPO and can assist with the fundamental changes involved in becoming a publicly listed company by offering:

Extensive knowledge and experience of capital markets requirements
In-depth knowledge of accounting, tax, and financial reporting requirements, helping organizations with going and being public
Extensive experience in corporate governance matters.

Becoming listed is often only the beginning of a long journey for a company. Preparation at this stage will allow for a company to develop the characteristics that define powerful organizations in a capital market environment.

KPMG can provide clients with a coordinated response via specialists from Corporate Finance, Advisory Services, Business Performance Services, Financial Risk Management, IT Advisory, Transaction Services, and Tax.
