Why KPMG
FAQs

For leadership teams, successful capital markets activity extends beyond fundraising. Every transaction - whether an IPO, SPAC, cross-border raise, or strategic acquisition - needs careful assurance and integration. Misaligned processes, unexpected risks, or gaps in due diligence can delay execution, affect valuation, and distract the board from strategic priorities.

Our transaction assurance and integration services give executives clarity, reduce risk, and provide the confidence that every step of the transaction is managed effectively.

Leadership considerations in transaction assurance & integration

Boards and senior management typically focus on:

Risk identification and mitigation

Understanding potential financial, operational, or regulatory issues before they affect the business.
Maintaining operational continuity

Ensuring transactions don’t distract leadership from running the company.
Governance and compliance

Aligning approvals, reporting, and oversight with both internal and regulatory expectations.
Strategic integration

Combining new capital, acquisitions, or listings effectively with investor strategies and market positioning.

Our role is to translate these considerations into practical steps, giving boards confidence in both transaction outcomes and ongoing operations.

Supporting leaders through complex transactions

Assurance is critical to every transaction. Our Transaction Assurance & Integration services provide the rigour and transparency needed to support the capital markets journey, giving leadership confidence that financial information and controls meet the highest standards.

Evaluating financial, operational, legal, and regulatory aspects to highlight potential risks before they impact execution. This work often builds on insights established during IPO readiness and equity story development, ensuring risks are addressed before they affect valuation.

Aligning transaction activity with the board’s decision-making framework, ensuring approvals, reporting, and governance protocols are followed without slowing execution. We connect these processes with lessons learned from post-IPO governance and investor relations so leadership remains consistent in public markets.

Overseeing lawyers, accountants, and other advisers to keep the process on track and prevent bottlenecks. Where a deal involves specialist structures such as a SPAC or reverse takeover, we ensure coordination remains efficient across jurisdictions.

Designing clear plans for combining new capital, acquisitions, or overseas listings with existing operations. This often ties directly into our cross-border capital raising services, helping leadership maintain oversight as capital flows across geographies.

We don’t treat assurance in isolation. Each engagement is connected to broader activity, whether equity capital raising and placement or preparation for future IPO execution and reporting. Leadership gets a joined-up strategy, not a set of disconnected projects.

Frequently asked questions about transaction assurance & integration

How can boards gain assurance that transaction risks are identified early, and managed effectively?

We provide structured due diligence across financial, operational, and regulatory areas. Findings are translated into executive-level insights, so boards can act decisively before risks impact valuation or execution.
How does transaction assurance protect leadership focus during complex deals?

By co-ordinating advisors, processes, and governance, we reduce operational noise. Executives remain focused on strategy and oversight, while assurance frameworks manage execution detail.
What role should the board play in post-transaction integration?

Boards set the integration vision and success measures. We design plans that embed acquisitions, capital inflows, or SPAC and reverse takeover outcomes into governance and investor strategies, ensuring alignment at the top.
How does transaction assurance integrate with other stages of the capital markets journey?

Transaction assurance is not standalone. It connects with IPO readiness and equity story development, equity capital raising and placement, and post-IPO governance to provide leadership with a seamless end-to-end view.
