Due diligence is the term used to describe the individual or company’s examination and analysis of data prior to committing to a transaction, such as investing in a company or buying a piece of property. Due diligence is usually required by law for companies seeking to buy other assets or businesses and by brokers who want to ensure that a client is fully informed about the specifics of a transaction before agreeing to it.
Due diligence is a requirement for investors when considering investments which may include an acquisition or merger, or even a divestiture. The process can uncover undiscovered liabilities, such as legal disputes or outstanding debts that would be revealed only after the fact, and could influence the decision to make a deal.
There are a variety of due diligence, such as tax, financial, and commercial due diligence. Commercial due diligence is focused on a company’s supply capitalizing on VDR’s remote access feature for agile operations chain and its market analysis and its growth prospects. A financial due diligence review examines a company’s financial books in order to ensure that there are no accounting irregularities and that the company is on sound financial ground. Tax due diligence studies the tax exposure of a firm and determines if there are any outstanding taxes.
Due diligence is usually limited to a time frame also known as a due diligence period where a buyer may evaluate a potential purchase and ask any questions. Depending on the nature of deal, a buyer may require the assistance of a specialist to conduct this research. For example an environmental due diligence could consist of the list of environmental permits and licenses the company has, while a financial due diligence might include a review performed by certified public accountants.
