Due Diligence

Charm or Deceit

Due Diligence - Case History

Decisions of crucial commercial importance are made by businesses every day: to acquire, merge or invest. These decisions are frequently based on impressions, commitments or the 'right chemistry'. Charm and deceit are sometimes hard to tell apart.

Key Issues
Our Due Diligence service is designed to precede or compliment the normal legal and accounting due diligence process associated with:

• Acquisitions
• Investments
• Mergers
• Joint ventures

and partnerships.

We concentrate our efforts on the personalities, their backgrounds and the business probity of the target company. Our aim is to identify undisclosed problems, omissions or issues which might adversely affect a deal.

Risk v Reward
Opportunities have to be seized, but thoroughness can avoid expensive and debilitating consequences. Due Diligence may prevent:

• Loss of investment capital
• Reduced share value
• Adverse publicity
• Loss of reputation
• Costly litigation
• Regulatory intervention

all of which are issues that can incite a call for executive accountability.

Due Diligence may identify:

• Bankruptcies
• Conflicts of interest
• Undisclosed judgements and litigation
• False or misleading references and documentation
• Supplier or customer problems
• Future reputational disasters

and a history of bad deals.
