We Perform Your Due Diligence
Due diligence is an investigation, audit, or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration. In the financial world, due diligence requires an examination of financial records before entering into a proposed transaction with another party.
Transactions covered under Due Diligence:
Due diligence is done from the viewpoint of the seller as well as the buyer. While the buyer looks into the financials, litigation, patents and an entire range of relevant information, the seller focuses on the background of the buyer, the financial capabilities to complete the transaction and the ability to fulfill commitments taken.
Due diligence is done for strategic alliances, strategic partnerships, business coalitions and such other partnerships.
When one company joins hands with another the reputation of the company is a matter of concern. Understanding the other company’s stand and measuring the adequacy of resources at their end assumes importance.
Aspects included during making a public offer are decisions on public issues, disclosures in a prospectus, post issue compliance and such other matters. These would usually require due diligence.
