Go public with confidence: SEC reporting and SOX readiness for Pre-IPO companies

April 22 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Description:
Going public introduces significant compliance requirements that many pre-IPO companies underestimate. From SEC reporting obligations to SOX internal control requirements, finance and audit leaders must navigate complex timelines, stakeholder expectations, and technology decisions, often for the first time.
Join us as we share practical guidance on timelines, common pitfalls, and building a compliance foundation that scales.
Who should attend:
- CFOs, VPs of finance, and Controllers at pre-IPO companies (Series C+)
- Chief Audit Executives and VPs of internal audit preparing for SOX
- Finance and compliance professionals evaluating IPO readiness
Learning objectives:
- Map the critical timeline – Understand exactly when to start SEC reporting prep vs. SOX readiness and what happens if you’re late
- Avoid the most expensive mistakes – Recognize the sequencing errors that cause costly reworks, audit delays, and board-level surprises
- Build a tech stack that scales – Evaluate what to look for in SEC and SOX solutions before making long-term commitments
- Review what IPO veterans wish they knew – Apply lessons from companies who’ve done it, including what they’d do differently
