IFRS-based IPO Support

Overview Overview

Comprehensive support that ensures successful IFRS compliance

In recent years, more companies are considering IPOs under IFRS Accounting Standards. For companies pursuing global capital markets or M&A strategies, proceeding with the IPO process in conjunction with adopting IFRS Accounting Standards has become a highly rational choice. Meanwhile, executing IPO preparation and IFRS adoption simultaneously involves complex intertwined elements, such as institutional accounting, disclosure, internal controls, business process re-engineering, and system development. This demands support that balances total optimization with practical feasibility.
We provide comprehensive support by experts with a proven track record in both IFRS implementation and IPO support, ranging from formulating a phased and feasible roadmap aligned with the IPO schedule to formulating IFRS accounting policies, coping with disclosure-related tasks, identifying and prioritizing issues related to first-time adoption, aligning group-wide policies, designing consolidated reporting packages, defining system requirements, and preparing Securities Report for Initial Listing Application (Part I) and other listing application documents. In particular, we support the development of systems where our clients can pursue an IFRS-based IPO with confidence, leveraging our IPO-specific knowledge such as coordinating with audit firms and underwriters, preparing anticipated Q&As, and formulating IFRS-based earnings forecasts and future plan figures.
