Hempacco recently hired Growth Path Partners to help improve its periodic filing process. The decision was taken to ensure the company's financial statements were accurate and compliant with industry regulations. This move is expected to help Hempacco save time and money in the long run by streamlining the financial statement preparation and filing process and ensuring that the company's reports are reliable and prepared on a timely basis. The company anticipates that the pre-audit firm will also provide Hempacco with valuable insights into its financial performance, helping the company make sound decisions for the future.
Hempacco became a publicly-traded Nasdaq company in 2022. The company saw the move as a sign of the industry's growing acceptance and popularity, as well as its potential for growth and profitability. Hempacco's decision to go public was met with enthusiasm from investors and cannabis enthusiasts alike. With its listing on a major stock exchange, Hempacco believes it has opened up investment opportunities for people interested in the industry. It has also created new use cases for hemp-derived products and services, which could potentially revolutionize the industry.
