Private Equity/Venture Capital Cohnnection - December 2011
12/12/2011
Welcome to Private Equity/Venture Capital Cohnnection, J.H. Cohn LLP’s periodic newsletter designed to educate and inform our clients and friends of developments within the private equity community.
In this issue, we invite you to read about such issues as:
- After more than 30 years, discussions continue around private company financial reporting requirements, with opponents saying that it’s unfair for the nearly 29 million private companies in the United States to be forced to remain in synch with just 15,000 public companies.
- What conditions may have led to the decline of emerging growth company IPOs in the United States, and what impact has the downturn had on U.S. job growth? A new report, “Rebuilding the IPO On-Ramp: Putting Emerging Companies and the Job Market Back on the Road to Growth,” gives us some clues.
- The 2011 National Summit for Middle Market Funds conference included a broad swath of topics, including discussion about how the principles learned in the military translate and apply to Corporate America; the current state of the economy and job creation; and how seeming disparate financial factors compound to create an interconnected web of factors impacting the global economy.
- Recently enacted legislation in Connecticut has prompted the adoption of successor liability provisions related to the withholding of income taxes by employers.
