Due Diligence

M&A processes (mergers and acquisitions) are usually long and complex because the investment decision depends on many factors from different areas that must be taken into account to understand and minimize your risk. Carrying out a correct and thorough Due Diligence can illuminate many of these factors.

At Audiconsultores ETL Global we have an experienced multidisciplinary team of professionals that allows us to accompany our clients throughout the entire M&A process (mergers and acquisitions) and offer them advice in the different stages involved in it. Among these, there is the Due Diligence or “due diligence” process of all the areas that make up the financial ecosystem of the target company.

{

The objective of Due Diligence is to facilitate and/or analyze relevant and significant information that may have an impact on the transaction and that its knowledge and assessment help decision-making through comprehensive knowledge of the business. 

In concrete, a Due Diligence process must respond to the following information requirements in the context of a transaction:

1

The identification
of “deal breakers”

2

Knowledge of the business through access to all information

3

The identification of risks, contingencies and commitments to obtain sufficient coverage

4

The identification of opportunities, savings and synergies
