Our Capital Markets practice supports founders, boards and management teams throughout the capital lifecycle – from private capital raising and growth through public listings, subsequent transactions and ongoing listed-company requirements. 

As a company prepares for a listing, we assess its financial reporting, governance and internal controls against regulatory and market expectations, identifying and addressing gaps well ahead of the transaction.  We also act as reporting accountant on IPOs and other capital markets transactions, providing the financial reporting, assurance and related support required as part of the listing process.

Not every growth story runs through a public listing. We support businesses raising capital privately, including through venture capital, private equity and other investor led funding rounds, bringing the same rigour to financial reporting and readiness that investors expect at any stage of fundraising.

We provide transaction support, including financial due diligence, giving boards and investors a clear picture of a business ahead of a fundraising round, acquisition or listing, and helping them assess risk and move deals through to completion with confidence.

Our support continues beyond listing. We work with listed companies on subsequent capital raisings, acquisitions and other corporate transactions, as well as the evolving financial reporting, governance and regulatory requirements of operating in the public markets.

Our team has supported emerging businesses, multinational corporations and SGX-listed companies across a range of industries including healthcare, shipping, manufacturing, retail and construction. Through RSM's global network, we can also support clients pursuing cross-border transactions and listings on major international exchanges.

How we can help

A capital markets transaction rarely stands alone. Companies preparing to raise capital, whether privately or through a listing, often need support across related areas of the business. Explore how our experts can support you:

Audit 

As reporting accountant, we guide companies through a public listing, issuing assurance reports on historical and pro forma financial information, providing comfort letters, and reviewing profit forecasts and filing documents.

Business Consulting

Our internal audit and risk consulting services assess governance, risk management and internal control processes, helping businesses strengthen control effectiveness and prepare for the accountability standards expected of a listed company. 

Business grooming helps companies build the operational and financial foundation needed well before a fundraising round or listing begins.

Mergers and acquisition services support the acquisitions and corporate transactions that often follow a listing or accompany private fundraising.

Transaction support covers the financial due diligence and deal related work referenced throughout this practice, applied across the full transaction lifecycle.
