There are some strategic decisions, such as investment/disinvestment, bank loan, acquisition, merger/demerger, business partnership, or organizational effectiveness initiative, require critical consideration. This is where Diligence helps, meaning that research and analysis are conducted to determine if the transaction is feasible and value-generating for the business or if it will face significant obstacles or any concerns that may result in bleak outcomes. Therefore, it must be accurate, clear, and timely for it to play a pivotal role in the company’s strategic management decisions. We provide due diligence services to clients to help them make informed decisions. The system of due diligence comes from a legal maxim called ‘Caveat Emptor’. This maxim means buyers beware. Hence the buyer has to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the business does not have any form of flaws.
