Which OTC Companies Require Audits

For OTCQX and OTCQB companies, reporting standards typically require audited financial statements prepared according to U.S. GAAP or IFRS. FirmKey’s network partners assist with preparing these financial statements, ensuring they meet PCAOB standards and comply with SEC filing requirements. Accounting for uplisting is particularly important for companies aiming to move from Pink Sheets to OTCQB or OTCQX, as enhanced transparency and rigor in financial reporting can make the process smoother and more credible, and our network can advise you on making this important transition successfully.

Pink Sheets companies (OTC Pink) generally do not require audited financial statements. Their reporting requirements are much more flexible, often based on voluntary disclosure rather than mandatory compliance. However, some Pink Sheets companies choose to provide audited financials to enhance credibility and attract investors. FirmKey’s network partners can assist Pink Sheets companies in enhancing transparency through voluntary audits and preparing financial statements that align with industry best practices.

FirmKey’s network assists microcap public companies by providing pre-audit preparation, conducting mock audits, and guiding businesses through the audit process to meet PCAOB standards effectively. Whether preparing GAAP financial statements or assisting with FINRA and over-the-counter markets compliance responses, FirmKey’s network delivers reliable, compliant results.

FirmKey’s network partners offer a comprehensive suite of services to meet OTC market disclosure requirements. This includes OTCQX and OTCQB audit standards, financial statement audits for OTC, and financial transparency for microcap public companies. Their expertise ensures compliance with reporting requirements for over the counter markets.

Compliance requirements for OTC companies can vary depending on the tier (OTCQX, OTCQB, or Pink Sheets) and whether the company is SEC-reporting or non-reporting. FirmKey’s network partners assist with meeting these requirements by preparing accurate financial statements, ensuring timely submissions, and aligning reports with current regulatory standards. Their services also cover federal and state tax support, assistance with pink sheet listing requirements, and ongoing monitoring to maintain compliance.

Establishing strong investor relations is a critical aspect of meeting compliance requirements.
