Quality of earnings
We normalise earnings by adjusting for non‑recurring items and accounting policies to estimate sustainable profitability.
Working capital and cash flow
Analysis of cash flows and working capital ensures there is sufficient liquidity to operate post‑transaction.
Tax and regulatory compliance
We review tax filings, contingent liabilities and regulatory obligations to identify exposure.
Off‑balance sheet obligations
Lease commitments, guarantees and related‑party transactions are investigated for potential risks.
Why due diligence matters
Informed pricing
By evaluating the true quality of earnings, buyers can negotiate a fair purchase price and sellers can justify their asking price.
Risk mitigation
Investigating hidden liabilities and operational issues helps prevent unpleasant surprises after the transaction.
Confidence for stakeholders
Clear, objective findings enable investors, lenders and management teams to make decisions with greater certainty.
Our due‑diligence approach
Planning and scoping
We work with clients to understand their objectives, transaction structure and key concerns.
Data analysis
Financial statements, management accounts, contracts and projections are examined. We cross‑reference information with market data to verify assumptions.
Interviews and verification
Management and key personnel are interviewed to validate explanations and uncover operational issues.
Reporting
Findings are summarised in a concise report outlining risks, opportunities, and recommended adjustments. We include sensitivity analyses so that clients can see how different assumptions affect value.
