Due Diligence

By determining the opportunities and threats of pending transactions we can help to minimise the possibilities of any unforeseen surprises.

It is imperative that the results of any due diligence are applicable to the transaction including:

• valuation of the target and therefore the purchase price
• sale and purchase agreement (e.g. accounting definitions, accounting and tax warranties and indemnities, etc)
• integration plan (e.g. deal synergies).

There are a range of circumstances in which companies can benefit from externally provided due diligence.

• Where any organisation is considering an acquisition, merger or joint venture.
• Where the organisation or manager has limited experience in undertaking due diligence.
• Where existing advisers face a conflict of interest, or are not well placed to undertake the necessary due diligence.
• Where the required due diligence demands technical capabilities and commercial experience beyond the organisation’s internal resources.
