Due Diligence
As companies seek new avenues toward growth via mergers, acquisitions or other sources of investment capital, demand is rising for thorough, intelligent due diligence.
With research showing as many as half of all business combination efforts fail, the importance of comprehensive due diligence at the outset cannot be overstated.
A financial due diligence project will investigate an entity’s financial health by gaining an understanding of the business and its value drivers. Meaden & Moore’s investigation and report in each due diligence project focuses on those issues that most interest or concern the client, including:
- The quality of cash flows, both historic and projected
- Operating assets and liabilities
- Overall accounting systems
- Internal controls and physical inventory
