Private Equity Firms & Harvest Preparation
Exit strategies involving an IPO or sale to a public-entity buyer require the portfolio company to develop the oversight and financial reporting structures mandated by regulatory authorities. Although they are not regulated by securities laws, private buyers may also require compliance with securities laws prior to acquisition.
CCA’s expertise in internal controls and corporate governance permits us to offer comprehensive services targeted at portfolio company (PC) harvest preparation. We evaluate, manage, and institute internal controls in portfolio companies. These activities prepare PCs for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance, as well as provide senior managers with key metrics they can use to monitor the PC’s operational health.
Our team can also implement financial reporting controls that aggregate financial information across portfolio companies. These activities ensure fund managers receive high-quality data from their PCs and minimize the time required to “chase” information.
Our harvest preparation activities:
- Provide fund managers with an overall assessment of portfolio company governance structures
- Institute Sarbanes-Oxley compliant governance structures in portfolio companies
- Ensure internal controls in portfolio companies are SEC complaint
