Documentation – Vetting of Offer Documents, Prospectus, and Disclosures
Importance of Documentation
In an IPO, documentation forms the foundation of investor trust and regulatory approval. Every figure, disclosure, and statement in the offer documents must be accurate, transparent, and compliant with SEBI and stock exchange requirements. Errors or omissions can not only delay the IPO process but also damage the company’s credibility in the eyes of investors.
Role of Offer Documents
The Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), and other statutory filings are critical instruments that disclose the company’s financial health, business model, risks, governance structure, and growth outlook. These documents must withstand the scrutiny of regulators, institutional investors, and the public at large.
Challenges in Documentation
Companies often face challenges in aligning disclosures with SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, maintaining consistency across financials and operational data, and ensuring complete risk factor reporting. Inadequate documentation or incomplete disclosures can result in regulatory objections, investor mistrust, or even rejection of the IPO filing.
