Audits for U.S. Cross-Border IPOs
MarcumAsia is a top-ranked SEC auditor for Asian companies listed on the U.S. stock markets or seeking to access the U.S. capital markets.
We have worked with all the underwriters and law firms that are active in advising Asian companies seeking to complete an initial public offering on NASDAQ or the NYSE, enabling us to be an effective member of the deal team to bring your listing transaction to the finish line. We possess deep familiarity with the elements required for getting a registration statement cleared with the SEC and can help to anticipate the critical accounting issues that are most likely to require particular emphasis and analysis by regulators.
Given the unique challenges of performing audits in Asia’s evolving business and regulatory environment, companies and investors benefit from having an auditor with deep expertise in Chinese accounting practices, government regulations, business culture, and industry norms.
MarcumAsia has pioneered several innovative approaches that enable us to deeply understand our client’s businesses and provide assurance services beyond the standard checklist approach.
- Anticipating issues likely to cause concern among U.S. regulators and exchanges so that management can properly present financial results and resolve problems before they arise.
- Focusing on critical accounting and business model issues that might attract the attention of investors, including short sellers, if not adequately disclosed.
- Educate senior management on the best practices in disclosure, governance, and internal controls to develop a plan to meet global standards.
- Helping to ensure that crucial acquisitions and customer transactions are structured and appropriately documented.
In an environment where market windows can open and close quickly, having an experienced auditor is essential to capturing the opportunity to raise capital and launch the next phase of your corporate evolution as a public company.
