Two Day Workshop on Due Diligence

"Due Diligence" is a concept involving voluntary investigation of a business prior to entering into any kind of a commercial contract with it. Due Diligence is a standard practice of investigation and examination of all aspects of a business unit, before entering into any type of commitment of money, time, goodwill or managerial involvement.

Due Diligence is carried out by examination of a potential target for merger, acquisition, privatization, or similar corporate finance transaction normally by a buyer. This investigation focuses on the overall material matters of the past or future matters that might have a significant bearing on the profitability or mere existence of the business.

Many a times the Due Diligence process is carried out to dig out any hidden or potential liabilities which may arise and need to be adjusted in the transaction price. Typically Due Diligence is usually done by examination of books of account, vouchers, statutory registers and other relevant records including current practices of process and policies. Further inquiries and asking certain key questions to the management and others related with the business also is part of the entire process.

A good Due Diligence process helps to answer many tricky questions like how do you buy, how do you structure the acquisition, and how much do you pay?

To sum up, Due Diligence is an important tool along with valuation to make an acquisition decision and determine a fair price to be offered by the acquirer to a target company or its assets for acquisition.

Due Diligences are of many kinds and have become a practice area with huge potential for practicing Chartered Accountants.
