Due Diligence Services

Due diligence is the process of making sure every aspect of business, be it financial or operational, is in reasonable order. It is basically a heath check-up of the organization.

Due diligence can be done by the organization on its own to proactively check its health status or it may be mandated by a potential investor.

The process of due diligence serves numerous functions that benefit both buyers and sellers in a merger or acquisition transaction. These benefits include the following:

• Allows a buyer to confirm financial, contractual obligations, customer, and other pertinent information about the seller;
• Paints a fuller picture of the scope of the transaction, including discovery of previously unknown problems and assets;
• Leads to more accurate pricing (the initial offer could rise or fall, depending on what due diligence uncovers) because decisions are better informed;
• Permits the buyer to back out of a deal if due diligence uncovers problems that are too big or complex to address;
• Creates greater awareness, clearer expectations, and increased comfort for the buyer and seller of what’s expected of them to close the deal;
• Reduces the knowledge gap between buyer and seller, leading to better (and better-informed) decisions

Complinova supports small and mid-sized firms in conducting and completing end-to-end due diligence process related to Financial Statements, Taxation (both Direct and Indirect), Statutory, Legal and Contractual obligations.
