Due Diligence
Expertise Services Thought Leadership
Benjamin Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Good due diligence is a critical prevention tool to prevent missteps and provide greater assurance of success. Organizations usually reserve due diligence activities for use when conducting large transactions, such as evaluating a target acquisition or investment. However, good due diligence can help in many other activities, from conducting more in-depth assessment of a key executive hire to reviewing corporate policies or auditing systems and operational compliance.
There are three keys to successful due diligence: broad experience, attention to detail and independence. Broad experience enables better analysis (through analogy) of value, risk and differentiation. Attention to detail ensures critical items are not missed and all things are considered. Independence assures the due diligence investigation is conducted purely on merit and without (personal or organization) bias. Conducting due diligence without these critical success factors can lead to poor hires, costly acquisitions and increased regulatory and legal risk.
