?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 atArgosy 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
