Financial Due Diligence

Service Overview

Financial Due Diligence in an M&A transaction tests the target's historical earnings, cash flow, working capital and debt so the price and the sale agreement reflect reality.

Findings typically drive the price mechanism — net debt, working-capital targets, locked-box or completion-accounts adjustments — and specific warranties and indemnities.
