"Analyzing material weaknesses in internal control after an Initial
Public Offering (IPO) finds that these issues are typically disclosed
very quickly after a company goes public.
On average, U.S. firms report control weaknesses within about 12
months or less of their IPO, with many even acknowledging them
directly in the IPO filing itself. Studies show roughly half of
companies cite weaknesses in their prospectus, and over 60%
disclose at least one by the end of the first year post-IPO. The rate of
new disclosures drops significantly by the third year, confirming that
material weaknesses are primarily an early post-IPO challenge.
This emphasizes the critical need for companies planning an IPO to
invest in robust internal controls early on, as the absence of controls
tends to become quickly apparent under public scrutiny.”
