New York Affidavit & Report (Disinterested Person Certification Proceeding) (Private Placement) is a document that confirms the accuracy of information contained in a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), which is a document used to solicit investments from private investors. The New York Affidavit & Report must be completed and signed by a disinterested person, such as an attorney or a Certified Public Accountant, who has reviewed the information in the PPM and has determined that it is true and accurate. There are two types of New York Affidavit & Report, one for a Private Placement offering and one for a Business Combination or Merger. The New York Affidavit & Report must be filed with the applicable state securities' regulator, often the New York Department of Financial Services. The New York Affidavit & Report is an important part of the due diligence process for investors, and helps to ensure that all information is accurate and that investors are making informed decisions.
