Listing on the stock exchange is a major event in a company’s business strategy to expand its business, and is an important means of growth strategy to strengthen management resources such as “people,” “goods,” and “money”. While there are many advantages to listing, such as enhancing the company’s social credibility and strengthening the management system, it takes more than two years of preparatory work to go public, including the preparation of various rules and regulations and the establishment of a management system.<\/p>\r\n

“Preliminary Investigation” as the first step in going public<\/h2>\r\n

It is natural for an unlisted company to feel unsure of where to start when it comes time to go public, since this is the first time for the company to prepare for a public offering. Why not start with a “preliminary investigation”?<\/p>\r\n

Characteristics of the Preliminary Survey by the Ohwa Group<\/h3>\r\n

A preliminary investigation is a short-term investigation conducted to identify “issues” that need to be resolved before an IPO through an understanding of the current status of the company. Audit firms are the most suitable to conduct a preliminary investigation because they are in charge of IPO support services and have the know-how necessary for IPOs due to their constant contact with many listed companies through auditing. Among them, our preliminary investigations have the following characteristics.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Surveys by experts with extensive experience and know-how<\/li>\r\n
  2. Short and economical surveys<\/li>\r\n
  3. Accurate, clear, and specific reporting<\/li>\r\n
  4. Sufficient follow-up system after the survey report<\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n
