The manufacturing industry has also seen an
unprecedented wave of cyberattacks. In 2020, it
suffered from system intrusion, social engineering and
basic web application attacks, with the most common
threats being phishing and hacking to gain the initial
foothold. From there, credentials were compromised
and utilized, or the threat actors installed malware.
With each challenge comes opportunities, however. In
response to the economic hardships of the past year,
an increasing number of manufacturers are seeking
to make acquisitions or are embracing mergers. In a
recent survey of leaders of companies with over $250
million in sales, around 65% said they planned to
make acquisitions in response to economic conditions
created by the pandemic. In parallel, many smaller
companies that supply parts for larger producers
currently struggle to survive and may be attracted to
a merger.
Tackling these obstacles with the aforementioned talent
gap is no easy feat, but there are several ways you can
bridge talent resource limitations and improve your
company’s overall productivity.
1. Look for Additional Bandwidth in Finance
Improving your organization’s economic condition can
fuel competition in the manufacturing job market, but
to do so your leadership team needs the assurance of
sound financial reporting and metrics. One way to track
your organization’s financial heartbeat is to rework
your financial reporting function to provide a real-
time look into models, forecasts, cash flows, use of
dashboards and other tools. A rolling forecast can help
you prepare for the future and succeed. For example,
suppose you have concerns over performance issues
due to a lack of qualified workers. In that case, a
financial forecast can provide detailed insight into
sales and liquidity to test business scenarios impact
on financial performance.
Outsourcing your accounting to support your company’s
back office is another opportunity that enables you to
meet short- and-long-term obligations cost-efficiently
and addresses unexpected needs. It allows your back
office to operate smoothly during special projects and
transition periods.
The tax landscape is constantly evolving, placing a
heavy burden on internal tax departments. Integrating
external expertise with your internal team can allow
more bandwidth to address emerging tax needs and
help you stay compliant. You can save on taxes while
remediating past errors quickly and issuing filings on
time while leaving room in your full-time headcount for
key positions.
2. Take a New Approach to Risk Management
One of the reasons cybercrime is increasing is because
some manufacturing companies are shrinking their
internal audit budgets. (The Institute of Internal Auditors
found 36% of companies reduced internal audit spend in
2020.) As a result, security protocols are falling through
the net and have left a gap in cybersecurity protection. It
may be beneficial to utilize internal audit resources with
a wide array of IT controls experience to close that gap.
Review the results of your recent internal audit to assess
whether your controls and staff are positioned to address
areas of emerging risk. This may aid in your determination
about what additional resources your organization could
use for its risk management function.
To zero in on cyber breaches, seek external guidance on
securing systems and data. An assessment of your system
and potential vulnerabilities can identify realistic and
practical cybersecurity safeguards. For example, if you
have never done one, comparing your control environment
to a common industry framework such as the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity
Framework (CSF) or the Center for Internet Security Critical
Security (CIS) can help identify issues before a breach
occurs, reduceing the time and extent of potential damage.
3. Seize the Opportunities in Mergers &
Acquisitions (M&A)
In the second quarter of 2021, deal activity continued
at a feverish pace, proving to be on track for a record-
breaking year driven by continued economic recovery,
low-cost debt, high levels of unspent cash reserve and
the possibility of a higher capital gains tax rate. Mid-
market deals accounted for over 68% of the overall
deal count for the first half of 2021—the highest annual
proportion on record.
As more organizations take advantage of the benefits
of M&A during the pandemic fallout, the need for
logistical expertise is higher than ever. An experienced
M&A team can help your organization focus on practical
business, while deal flow, due diligence and other
transaction-related activities are adequately addressed.
For example, if there’s a possibility of an exit on the
horizon, consider using a provider to assist with sell-
side due diligence sooner than later to identify potential
deal drivers and stoppers. Companies considering an
imminent exit may also want to undergo a financial
statement audit to provide potential buyers more insight
into the reporting environment.

IsItTimetoConsider
GroupCaptiveInsurance?
I
nsurance is one of the largest annual expense
items for many businesses. As insurance premiums
have skyrocketed over the last several years, many
businesses have moved their risk financing from the
traditional, guaranteed cost model to a captive insurance
arrangement. For some companies, a captive can both
mitigate risk and build wealth.
What exactly is a captive insurer? It’s generally defined
as an insurance company that is wholly owned and
controlled by its insureds; its primary purpose is to insure
the risks of its owners, and its insureds benefit from the
captive insurer’s underwriting profits. It allows a company
to self-fund for traditional and emerging risks, including
those that are unavailable or unaffordable in the
commercial market, such as the pandemic and supply-
chain risks many companies have recently experienced.
Advantages of Being in a Captive
Captives are a long-term strategy for funding risks that
might impact your business or otherwise have a negative
effect on your balance sheet. As a self-insurance option,
captives are a risk-reward structure. So, companies that
effectively manage risk can enjoy many benefits, including
having premiums returned to their bottom line. Simply put,
here are some of the advantages of being in a captive:
■ Potential Profit – A captive rewards members
for controlling losses and claims by providing
dividends and investment income. Underwriting
profits come back to you – not the insurance
company.
■ Lower Costs – Minimizes mark-ups such as
marketing, commission, administration and
overhead costs found in traditional insurance
■ Cost Control – Reduces long-term cost of risk
by allowing members to customize insurance
coverage to best meet their needs
■ Stable Market – Protects members from market
fluctuations found through traditional insurance
providers
Not All Companies Will Qualify
A member-owned group captive is available as an
alternative risk financing for companies with below-
industry-average loss history and with minimum
general liability, workers’ compensation and auto
liability premiums of $150,000. When combined with a
commitment to safety and long-term financial strength

and stability, a captive becomes a powerful tool owned
and managed by the company. Specifically, you will want
to consider these factors:
■ Industry Considerations – Insurance trends
within industries can play into the picture.
The key to a successful captive is actual loss
experience. If your company has significant
exposure to these risks and is outperforming
your peers relative to losses, a captive may be
worth exploring. Commercial trucking operators
with large vehicle fleets and low loss history are
a recent example. Insurers in this space have
been rapidly increasing rates due to overall loss
trends. Therefore, many trucking companies have
been saddled with large premium increases even
though they have not had many claims. If your
company can relate, you may want to consider a
captive as an alternative.
■ Safety Culture – Companies that boast a
strong culture of safety will outperform their
peers over time. Their claims experience will
be relatively consistent year over year. If your
company fits this profile, a captive can provide
the coverage required, while returning the
underwriting profit to your company rather than a
commercial insurer. Again, there is risk involved;
therefore, captive ownership is a long-term
strategy.
■ Metrics – There are many metrics used to
determine captive feasibility. One is the total
premium paid for the lines of coverage to be
placed into the captive. Generally speaking,
companies that pay higher premiums for
coverage like workers’ compensation, auto
liability, etc. will see greater long-term
advantages. But, captive structures like
micro-captives can be developed for smaller
companies as well.
■ Time Commitment – Some of the administrative
details involved with running a captive insurance
program include keeping books and records up
to date, preparing internal financial statements
and reports, monitoring the marketplace,
ensuring regulatory compliance, claims
management and more. It requires time and
effort to administer, so leadership must be
willing to make that investment.

EqualorEquitable–TheFamily
BusinessOwner’sDilemma
C
onsider a scenario where a family business owner
grapples with how to equalize inheritances for his
four children; two are active in the business while
two have careers separate from the family business.
Most of the family wealth, which is illiquid, is tied to the
business. Upon the death of the parents, the family faces
the vexing problem of how to provide the children with
equitable shares of the business without liquidating the
business.
Buyout Inactive Successor Owners
One approach would be to leave it to the siblings who are
running the business to buy out their other siblings. This
raises aa number of issues, including assessing the fair
market value of the business, determining the length of
the payout period and whether interest would be paid
until the buyout is complete. A real concern would be the
prospect of short selling some or most of the business’
assets to buyout the siblings who are not active.
Equal Payout
Another alternative is to leave the business to all four
children equally. This presents another set of challenges
as the two active children would now have to involve
their inactive siblings in the business’ decision making.
Further, the business may not be able to financially
support everyone. If that was the case, the wishes of the
business owner for continuity and family harmony would
be in jeopardy.
Survivorship & Single Life Policies Solutions
A simple, more elegant solution is for the business
to purchase life insurance on the owner, naming the
children who are not active in the business as the
beneficiaries. If the spouse is alive or the owner has
significant health issues, a survivorship policy might
be the appropriate choice. The policy could also
be purchased personally and put in an irrevocable
life insurance trust. In this case, the amount of the
coverage would be equal to 50% of the fair market
value of the business, split between the two inactive
children. Upon the death of the business owner (for
a single life policy) and the spouse (for a survivorship
policy), the two children operating the business would
inherit the business, while the other children would
each receive 25% of the tax-free death benefit of the life
insurance policy. The business continues on, and each
child receives an equitable inheritance.
With the help of a professional advisory team, including a
CPA, attorney, financial planner and insurance agent, an
estate equalization plan (also known as an inheritance
equalization plan) can be developed to pass on a family
business, allowing the owner to enjoy their wealth and
success while ensuring that the next generation is taken
care of – whether or not they are involved in the business.

SpecialPurposeAcquisitionCompanies
(akaSPACs)AreReallyHot!
T
he pace of innovation in manufacturing processes
and across other industries continues to accelerate
during the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. Seeking
growth opportunities, privately owned middle-market
companies potentially can tap into a ready source of
capital — investors anxious to deploy their cash — through
the public markets. The proceeds from selling shares
offer a source of liquidity for the private company owners,
their founders, early-stage employees and other members
of the C suite. Share proceeds may also be used to
expand the business, fund research and development,
pay off debt, or all of the above. As an added benefit,
becoming public can also provide companies with
publicity, standing and gravitas.
Historically, going public meant doing your own “IPO,”
which required substantial experience in public market
dynamics as well as size, time and money. Recently, there
is a new way — going public via a merger with an already
public special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
A SPAC is an entity that has raised public capital from
generally sophisticated investors. Often referred to as a
“blank check company,” this entity has cash in the bank,
a leadership team and an investment thesis but does not
yet have an operating business. Generally, over a period
of 18-24 months, a SPAC acquires an operating business
that meets its investment mandate and transitions from a
“blank check” status to operating status. This is generally
structured as a reverse merger, and the operating entity
becomes the publicly traded company. In effect, the
operating company acquires the cash of the SPAC entity
as well as its public company status.
In 2020, SPAC IPOs raised almost twice as much as
they raised in the previous 10 years combined. As of
September 2021, SPACs had raised approximately $122
billion in IPOs in the U.S. since the start of the year. That’s
23% more than the record-setting level recorded in 2020.
Increasingly, private companies have been identified by
SPACs as legitimate targets. This process of becoming
public will involve lower costs and complexity, at least
initially. However, private companies that want to be
legitimate candidates must be able to meet a much faster
timeline of going public as SPACs are generally looking

to move quickly. Therefore, private companies that are
interested in the SPAC path to liquidity must engage in
an IPO readiness process to show the investors that they
have the process, procedures, people and technology
to endure the scrutiny of the public markets. Once the
transaction is complete, these private entities will be
public entities and must be ready to comply with all
related regulations that come as part of this event.
IPO Readiness and Risk Minimization
The process of getting ready to become a public company
is complex and needs to be customized to your particular
industry and situation. Forewarned is forearmed. Below
we list a sample of areas we often see in need of
remediation in order to get a company ready for the rigor
and scrutiny of being publicly traded; these are the high
priority items that are often most in need of attention for
public company readiness.
Accounting, SEC Reporting & Financial Operations —
Companies that choose to go through a SPAC IPO will
have a host of reporting considerations and may need
additional guidance on technical and transactional
accounting, internal and external reporting, external audit
preparation/valuation, and system implementation/
integration/optimization in order to meet public company
reporting requirements. Risks to be of aware of include:
■ Inadequate/untimely monthly close process
■ Lack of SEC-ready technical accounting skills to
address matters such as ASC 606 (revenue)/
ASC 340 (costs) and ASC 842 (leases)
■ Historical financial statements may need to
be restated and re-audited by a nationally
recognized audit firm and in accordance with
PCAOB audit standards (in lieu of less rigorous
private company AICPA standards)
■ Manual process for internal/external reporting
■ Inadequate departmental organization and design
Risk Advisory — Public companies also have unique
internal controls requirements, including processes for
managing financial and fraud risk, a robust internal audit
function, IT general controls, financial and operational
controls, and, in this environment, processes for
cybersecurity. Specific indicators that improvement to
your risk management function may be needed include:
■ Lack of a formalized fraud risk assessment
process
■ Inadequate controls to detect or prevent
accounting errors and fraudulent financial
practices
■ Limited or non-existent documentation or
controls over information technology

■ Lack of information security governance/plans
and procedures
■ Inadequate enterprise and board-level risk
considerations
Tax — Preparing to go public via a SPAC will involve some
of the same tax processes reporting updates as would
an IPO, including tax structure, value drivers and internal
controls analysis. Signs your tax department may need
additional guidance include:
■ Structure and legal entity issues
■ Potential tax contingencies for matters such as
state & local, sales & use, or international tax
■ Inadequate disclosures and internal controls
■ Insufficient attribute planning (R&D studies, IRC
Section 382 analysis)
Insurance & Benefits — The underwriting for your D&O
liability insurance for a SPAC will address these factors:
■ Advisory team – The stronger your advisory team
(e.g., outside counsel, investment bank, auditors),
the lower the inherent risk in being public.
■ Background of management team and board
of directors – Along with historical claims
experience, this is a substantial underwriting
consideration in evaluating the risk of offering
D&O insurance. The more highly qualified and
experienced your team is in the targeted class of
business, the lower the risk.
■ Potential conflicts of interest – Underwriters
will be on the lookout for potential conflicts of
interest between the sponsors, the SPAC and
the operating company. For example, too much
additional compensation to management for
sponsoring the SPAC or sponsors acquiring a
company where a board member has a previous
relationship and will benefit from the transaction
can be issues.
■ Expected amount to be raised — The larger the
fund raise, the higher the risk (and cost) of D&O
insurance.
■ Target class of business to be acquired and
management experience in this class —
Underwriters will take into account the targeted
class of business. The lower perceived the risk of
the targeted class and the better management’s
experience aligns with the targeted class, the
better the terms for the D&O program.
■ Geography of target business — Underwriters
want to place business in jurisdictions where
they understand the laws and regulations. U.S.-
based businesses are easier to underwrite than
companies doing business internationally.
■ Target criteria provided in the S-1 — The more
specific the information in the S-1 about
the target criteria, the more comfortable an
underwriter will feel.
■ Federal forum provisions — An S-1 that includes
Federal Forum Provisions will be received more
favorably. These are provisions in corporate
charters requiring that claims under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “33 Act”) be brought
in federal court. The goal of the provisions is to
reduce litigation over alleged false or misleading
S-1 registration statements.
Compensation — Public companies have different
compensation needs, so your company will need
to re-evaluate market competitiveness of executive
compensation, short- and long-term incentive plan design,
employment agreements, and sales compensation plans.
If you experience any of the following, consider enlisting
additional support for your compensation approach:
■ Struggle to attract/retain executive talent (unsure
of competitiveness of total rewards package)
■ Executives and shareholder interests are not
aligned
■ Key terms of employment agreements need
updating (e.g., defining “for-cause” and “not-for-
cause” severance, severance related to change-
of-control, non-compete and non-disclosure
definitions and requirements)
Bottom Line
SPACs have been around for several decades but have
gained in popularity over the past two years. These
vehicles enable companies to become publicly traded
without following the traditional IPO route. Merging with
a SPAC generally allows companies to go public more
quickly but requires the target entity to be ready for such
a transaction. The SPAC process is subject to different
regulations than a traditional IPO, and there may be less
scrutiny than would occur in the traditional IPO process,
which can make them financially riskier for investors.
Although not required, taking a structured IPO readiness
approach to identify areas of need prior to engaging in
a SPAC transaction can address many of the primary
issues as noted in this article and can shine a much more
appealing light on your company for potential investors.

9. NAM’sManufacturers’OutlookSurvey:
ThirdQuarter2021
Manufacturing activity remains robust, especially
demand, with the U.S. and global economy continuing
to rebound from the sizable declines in spring 2020.
Real GDP and manufacturing production now exceed
pre-pandemic levels, which is encouraging. And yet,
significant challenges remain, including supply chain
disruptions, worker shortages and soaring costs.
The Manufacturers’ Outlook Survey for the third
quarter of 2021 found 87.5% of respondents felt either
somewhat or very positive about their company outlook,
down from 90.1% in the second quarter. The NAM
Manufacturing Outlook Index measured 58.4 in the third
quarter, down from 60.2 in the second quarter. The data
are consistent with solid growth in manufacturing activity,
but with some easing from more rapid paces in the
second quarter, when the outlook had registered the best
reading in nearly three years and some measures had
reached record highs.
Download the full report.
Manufacturing Output: Strongest Since January 2019
Despite Slowing in August
Manufacturing production slowed significantly in August,
edging up 0.1% for the month after rising by 1.6% in July.
Much like the larger economy, manufacturing production
has softened likely due to supply chain disruptions,
workforce shortages and rising raw material costs. Still,
manufacturing production has increased 5.9% over the
past 12 months, or 3.2% year to date, with output in the
sector the strongest since January 2019.
Similarly, manufacturing capacity utilization edged
up from 76.6% in July to 76.7% in August, also the
best reading since January 2019. Looking at annual
average growth rates, I would expect that manufacturing
production will have risen by 6.8% in 2021, with 4.2%
growth in 2022.
Regional surveys from the New York and Philadelphia
Federal Reserve Banks reflected stronger manufacturing
expansions in September, with a positive outlook for
the next six months. The forecast for capital spending
in the Empire State release was the best since January
2018, with technology spending seen rising at a record
pace. Yet, delivery times and pricing pressures remained
significant challenges in both districts.
Retail sales rose 0.7% in August, rebounding from the
1.8% decline seen in July and continuing the seesaw
pattern seen over the past five months. Motor vehicle
and parts dealers reported 3.6% fewer sales in August,
with the chip shortage and supply chain issues hindering
spending in that category. Excluding motor automobiles,
retail spending increased 1.8% for the month.
Small business owners continue to experience record-
level challenges with prices and employment, according
to the National Federation of Independent Business.
Half of all respondents in the August survey said that
they had job openings that they were unable to fill,
with 60% saying that there were few or no qualified
applicants, also an all-time high.
