Webcast overview
An initial public offering (“IPO”) is a significant step in the growth of a company. The process can be extremely complex, so it is advantageous to start the “IPO readiness” process well in advance of the planned IPO date.
Please join professionals from the KPMG M&A Tax and Business Tax Services practices, as well as the Washington National Tax office, as they discuss:
- The current state of the IPO market;
- Areas of focus from a tax perspective for companies looking at an IPO in the future, particularly the income tax provision transition from AICPA reporting standards to PCAOB reporting standards;
- The proper tax treatment of IPO costs and documentation requirements;
- The proper tax treatment of abandoned IPO costs; and
- The potential impact of an IPO on the ability to utilize tax attributes and the Ownership Change rules under Section 382.
