〜次第/〜次第です

接続:V-stem+次第/V辞書+次第です
as soon as; So please make an official presentation
注意 / Note:向け is designed for the object; 向き is suitable for the subject; 次第で is depending, and Vます語幹+次第 is immediately.
比較 / Compare:Same article: 〜向け/〜向き/〜次第で. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:動ます形+次第、〜(as soon as)。The latter does NOT use the past tense — this is another place 〜たらすぐ. Particularly 〜次第です is a formal writing style, with a completely different meaning.
分かり次第、ご連絡します。
As soon as I know I will be in touch.
事情をご説明する次第です。
For those reasons, I would like to present the matter.
準備が整い次第、ご案内いたします。
Once you're ready, we'll invite you in right away.
