Post-Closing Compliance Handoff: Turning the Closing Index Into Owned Records

The Deal Team to Portfolio Company Handoff

A post-closing compliance handoff moves every item on the deal team’s closing index into the portfolio company’s maintained records. Each item gets the register it belongs in, an owner, a next date, and a sign-off that ends the deal team’s part in it.

The trigger is the close itself. The deal team to portfolio company handoff is where the closing binder stops being an archive and becomes the post-acquisition compliance records the company maintains. A portfolio operations lead usually runs it. Deal counsel hands over the index and answers questions until sign-off, and the portfolio company’s controller and general counsel accept records into their own areas. The handoff repeats with every add-on acquisition, which is why private equity portfolio operations teams run it the same way each time.
