The evolving IPO ecosystem, regulatory framework and role of chartered accountants in public offerings were discussed at a one-day conference organised by the Hyderabad branch of the Southern India Regional Council (SIRC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
Titled “Capital Markets – An IPO Journey: Ringing the Bells”, the conference was organised in association with ICAI’s Financial Markets and Investors’ Awareness Committee to provide chartered accountants and industry professionals with practical insights into the IPO process.
SEBI chief general manager Rajesh Kumar D traced the evolution of India’s capital markets and explained the shift from capital controls and price regulations to a transparent, market-driven system.
Hyderabad ICAI branch chairman Girdhari Lal Toshniwal said chartered accountants played an important role in financial preparedness, due diligence, valuation, regulatory compliance and post-listing advisory. He added that growing capital markets offered new professional opportunities for chartered accountants.
Representatives from SEBI, BSE, investment banking firms, and the legal and corporate advisory sectors participated in the conference.
