Contact a G&P attorney in New York to learn more about our SEC annual and quarterly reporting practice.
Corporations that are newly registered for public trading must quickly become acquainted with their Form 10-K and 10-Q reporting obligations. Our lawyers will work with you to identify your reporting periods and deadlines based on the company's fiscal year, as well as to strategize on how to most efficiently prepare the reports.
Prompt, Sophisticated and Efficient Client Service in 10-K and 10-Q Reporting
The Form 10-K report functions much as the annual report to shareholders and is meant to provide a complete and accurate picture of a company's performance, structure and financial condition. Financial statements in the 10-K are audited. Form 10-Q reports are filed with the SEC shortly after the end of the first three fiscal quarters, with the annual 10-K report taking the place of the fourth quarterly report. The 10-Q reports are similar in scope to the 10-K filings, but shorter and less comprehensive. Financial statements are unaudited in the quarterly filings.
Certain extraordinary events between the 10-Q and 10-K reporting periods also need to be disclosed in an SEC report filed on Form 8-K. Examples of the events that could trigger 8-K reporting obligations include acquisition of a business or a significant amount of assets, key changes in executive or board positions, signing of material agreements, creation of significant financial obligations, private securities offerings, product recalls, material impairment charges or other developments that could significantly alter the course of a company's direction or performance.
At Gottbetter & Partners, our lawyers guide publicly traded companies through the intricacies of Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reporting. Our experience with SEC and market expectations of these filings helps clients meet their reporting obligations, manage the timing and presentation of required disclosures, and protect share values and market position. Our law firm offers annual and quarterly reporting services on a flat fee basis as part of our comprehensive service package available to public companies.
We also advise companies that have not yet gone public about their options for filing 10-Q and 10-K reports in order to later realize benefits of efficiency and speed in future securities registrations. For example, a company that has filed annual and quarterly reports with the SEC for at least three years and meets other criteria may have the ability to bypass the S-1 registration process in its IPO.
