IPO (Japan / Overseas)
Overseas Listing Support

Supporting IPO in US and Asian markets from an Accounting Perspective

In recent years, more Japanese companies are seeking to list on overseas stock exchanges. In particular, listing on U.S. markets such as NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has become an attractive option for growth companies. Overseas listing is more than just a means of fundraising; it contributes to multifaceted corporate value enhancement such as enhancing brand power, attracting global talent, and accelerating M&A strategies. Listing methods include conventional IPOs (initial public offerings) as well as listing through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) targeting Japanese companies.
Our experts with a proven track record of U.S. listing support will provide comprehensive support for the following operations.

• Preparation of consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP or IFRS Accounting Standards as an attachment to the registration statement filed to the U.S. SEC (Form F-1, F-4)
• Support for responding to audits conducted by audit firms in Japan and overseas in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards
• Response to U.S. SEC reviews

Furthermore, we also have extensive experience in assisting companies seeking to list on stock exchanges in Asia, such as Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and Singapore Exchange, with the preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards and support for audits under local auditing standards.
