A-plus Writer-Initial Public Offerings
There is something exciting about being a part of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Who can forget Martha Stewart banging the gavel at Wall Street's opening on the day her stock went public?
However, the reality is something completely different. While we remember Stewart at the top of her game, we also remember what happened soon after. Public companies are under much more scrutiny. In recent years, many companies have changed course and gone private.

• Identify at least three regulatory agencies involved in an IPO. Explain their respective roles in such an offering.
• What are at least three of the government's requirements for a company that is considering going public?
• Is going public always the best strategy for a company? Why or why not?
