Due diligence

Financial due diligence is a fundamental step when it comes to the potential acquisition of a company. It enables the prospective buyer to weigh up the possible risks it might face, especially the tax risks. The due diligence process enables the parties to base their decision on specific and reliable information and to take the risks into account when setting the purchase/selling price.
