IPO Presentation:

IPO
Presentation:
You work for a medium sized
privately held electronics firm which is considering transitioning to a
publically held organization. Your boss found out that you were taking business
courses at Argosy University and has asked you to prepare a presentation for
upper level management to explain the process by which a privately held company
would transition to publicly held company. He has asked you to
describe the general accounting processes involved in establishing an initial public
offering (IPO), including but not limited to accounting for all assets,
liabilities and equities of the firm. Prepare a 15-20 slide professional MS
PowerPoint presentation which covers the following:

Identify and explain the top
five reasons private companies go public.
Explain information the firm is
required to provide to the investor with complete transparency.
Compare and contrast the
differences in accounting processes and procedures that medium sized
companies such as yours go through when going public.
Discuss any concerns you
believe the company should guard against while transitioning from
privately held to publicly held (shareholder apprehension, fair market
value, etc.) and provide solutions to each concern.

Use the notes section in MS
PowerPoint to explain your talking points. Use at least two charts and two
additional graphics which support your points. Utilize at least three
references (one of which may be your text) in your presentation.
