Due Diligence
Due Diligence is the process by which a purchaser of, or an investor in, a company or business investigates the records of the target to support its value and find out whether there are any "skeletons in the cupboard". Professional reports from accountants and lawyers may be included. The due diligence process is covered by confidentiality undertakings, and supported by warranties. In finance, due diligence refers to the process of research and analysis that takes place in advance of an investment, takeover or business partnership.
As a potential investor you will need due diligence to investigate the background and principals of the target company.
A due diligence assignment generally includes reviewing press and SEC filings, checking for regulatory and licensing problems, identifying liens and judgments, and uncovering civil and criminal litigation matters. We will also search for conflicts of interest, insider trading, and press and public records which identify problems that may have occurred under the princilples's "watch."
We will prepare a due diligence report that you can use to understand the risks involved in an investment. For example, if negative information on a principal of the target company is discovered, the investor may put pressure on the target firm to replace that individual.
In addition to identifying the risks and implications of an investment, your due diligence report may include data on a company's solvency and assets.
