CHICAGO and NEW YORK, Sept. 9,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Donnelley Financial
Solutions (NYSE: DFIN), a leading risk and compliance company
today announced a strategic partnership with Diligent Corporation,
the global leader in SaaS governance, to equip organizations with
the financial and governance tools that help them scale with
confidence, from the early stages of business through to a
traditional IPO or SPAC.
The partnership provides organizations with a powerful
end-to-end solution that addresses many of the regulatory and
governance challenges companies face on the road to an IPO:
establishing a board structure, financial reporting, D&O and
SEC filing, and ensuring SOX compliance. With DFIN bringing its
world-class financial reporting and SEC filing capabilities and
Diligent bringing its expertise in governance and board leadership,
this solution will help companies get ready for the realities of
being listed on the public market and address the complexities of a
public offering.
"DFIN's IPO leadership is founded not just on experience and
service, but, on technology. Combined with our expertise, together
we will better align companies' governance and financial practices
with investor expectations," said Brian
Stafford, CEO of Diligent. "We are seeing unprecedented
momentum in the market from companies looking to prepare for an
IPO, seeking solutions that help them get board ready, prepare for
SOX compliance and ensure disclosure readiness. Partnering with
DFIN and leveraging their financial and regulatory expertise will
help our clients develop the systems they'll need for the future,
while ensuring that compliance requirements are met."
"Working with Diligent to deliver a purpose-built,
cost-effective solution that focuses on mitigating compliance
risks before IPO, enables us to provide greater value for our
clients," said Craig Clay, president
of Global Capital Markets at DFIN. "Our common focus around the
importance of prioritizing compliance through best of breed
technology, especially on the path to IPO, strengthens our combined
solution and empowers our clients to scale with confidence.
Together, we will continue to work to help leaders and executives
establish good governance practices from the seed stage through
exit and beyond."
Learn more about the partnership by registering for DFIN and
Diligent's upcoming webinar, "The IPO Journey: Good Governance
