Private company going public 1653
-
Sorry, I know I’m flooding the forum with so many questions, but like I said, I’m brand new at this and could use all the help I can get my hands on. My next question is:
Will SOX apply differently to a private company going public verses a company that was already public to begin with? If so, how?
Our company is private right now, and my boss was wanting to know if SOX might apply differently to a private company going public.
