Due Diligence
Brief Introduction
Due diligence is a critical process in any major corporate transaction, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and investments. Globally, due diligence is more important than ever due to increasingly complex markets, regulatory frameworks, and financial scrutiny. According to McKinsey, poor due diligence is a leading cause of failed acquisitions, with companies often discovering unforeseen liabilities after the deal is done. The process is designed to mitigate risks by providing a thorough assessment of financial, operational, and legal factors, ensuring that the transaction is based on reliable data.
Why it’s Important?
Due diligence provides clarity and confidence when entering complex transactions. Failing to conduct proper due diligence can result in unforeseen liabilities, misaligned expectations, or cultural conflicts. Studies indicate that up to 50% of M&As fail due to inadequate due diligence, making it an essential step in the process.
