From startup to IPO and beyond
Emerging growth companies are powering innovation in the broader economy. We expect many of these companies to become dominant in their categories or to create entirely new categories. Emerging growth companies place a premium on innovation in their own businesses, and they expect the same from the companies they work with, including their auditors.
