- Make sure your accounting books are updated with shareholders equity, or debt, based on the type of offering you’ve conducted;

Post Offering Requirements to Investors
Unless you specifically stated in your PPM that you were going to provide investors with certain items, companies are not required to deliver accounting numbers or any other inside information about your business. Public companies are required to provide quarterly and annual reports. Private companies are not required to provide these items. Public companies can also raise capital using Regulation D.
Financial Statements
Audited financial statements may be required, if you accepted capital from non-accredited investors.
The SEC has proposed new rules for Regulation D (Click Here).
