Auditors Directory

Every management team developing a plan to infuse debt or equity capital into their company is entering the capital markets.

Most management teams will benefit by selecting an auditor who has experience working on the size and kind of capitalization project that your team is developing.

The Auditors Directory lists 400 auditors. It identifies auditors who work on smaller company SEC registrations and projects to help issuers maintain smaller company SEC filings. It also lists people who provide SOX compliance services to smaller companies.

The Auditors Directory offers access to a deep pool of knowledge that can benefit decision maker’s at smaller reporting companies and every management team that is working on projects to infuse debt or equity capital into their company. More than 9,000 years of knowledge and one million hours of work each year create a deep knowledge pool that is represented in the Auditors Directory.

PCAOB Registered Auditors who work on smaller reporting companies SEC registrations and filing projects are invited add your information to the Auditors Directory.

Action steps to help management teams leverage using the Auditors Directory

Conceptualize and articulate your company's debt or equity capitalization project as a Request for a Proposal (RFP) that can be presented to several auditors.   

Develop worksheets and other methods to analyze each auditors response to or comments about your RFP.

Communicate with auditors to identify those who have experience working on the size and kind of project that you are developing.

Ask auditors to refer you to articles, whitepapers or other information pieces that they or others in their firms have created about the kind of capitalization project that you are developing.

Ask auditors to give you a list of items that your company must provide before they can finish their work on your capitalization project. In most instances, management teams will benefit by producing these information pieces before retaining an auditor. It is important to note that auditors who have a track record of helping clients achieve the best outcomes tend to have very detailed check lists of items that must be completed as part of their work product. Knowing what these items are and understanding what it will take for your company to produce or complete required information items before signing a retainer agreement is one way decision makers can ensure more successful outcomes.

Identifying an auditor who can help your company produce successful outcomes in the capital markets encompasses discussing the auditors ability to introduce your team to capital providers, investment bankers, broker dealers and other capital market specialists who can help fund your debt or equity project.  Auditors do not help their clients raise capital.  However, some auditors do identify the most productive capital market specialists and will introduce these people to their clients. Developing a proper level of understanding about an auditors capital market specialist network will help your management team make a better choice.

SME Capital Markets is available to consult with your team to help you develop and present an RFP to auditors and help analyze their proposals.
