Due diligence

The acquisition audit (also called "due diligence") takes place during transactions such as the purchase of a goodwill or an equity investment in an existing company. It must allow the purchaser to make informed  his investment decision. Our goal is to provide the buyer with the best visibility of the target and its related risks.

This acquisition audit can investigate these points: accounting, finance, taxation, legal, resources.

The careful acquisition audit performed by an auditor dispels all risks.

His success depends on his audit driving quality.

The objectives of an acquisition audit of a target company:

  • to identify the risks related to the acquisition: market of the company, condition of the transaction, financing of the operation ...;
  • ensure that there is no overstatement of the accounts and the financial position of the company,
  • provide the buyer with the information he needs to make his investment decision.
