What is Due Diligence ?

Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation or audit of a potential investment or transaction to confirm all relevant facts and financial information, as well as to assess any associated risks. It's an essential step undertaken by investors, buyers, or parties involved in a transaction to ensure that they have a complete understanding of the assets, liabilities, and potential benefits or drawbacks before making a decision.

Over the years it has been noted that business transactions that have gone through a robust due diligence process in their lifecycle are always the most successful. Conducting due diligence essentially means determining the effectiveness of processes, infrastructure, systems, people background, appropriate financial information analysis, reputation in media and social media as well as identifying areas of emerging risks. All of these procedures will ultimately allow any organisation to maximise the value creation.

Typically, Due Diligence is done for business partners like:

  • Vendors
  • Counter Parties
  • Investors like by angel investors/venture capitalists/ institutional investors/ banks, etc who look for strategic investments, or who wish to acquire inorganic growth like in Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Employees or potential candidates
  • Opponents

Importance Of Due Diligence In Risk Management Of The Company!

At various point of times every business needs to rely on third parties such as vendors, suppliers, and contractors. These third parties not only help the business in outsourcing their work and build business, but they also come quite handy in managing any kind of fluctuations in the operations of the business.

But of course, you and your business can reap all the benefits of associating with a third party when you have performed proper due diligence and found out that the third party is compliant to various rules and regulations and is worth the association. Lack of this compliance due diligence may put you and your company at the risk of fraud whose wrath will be suffered by you, your reputation and your business.

Keeping all these things in mind, there is no denial of the fact that third party due diligence and screening of company and policies of the vendor under consideration is very important. Without a thorough due diligence process any kind of association with any third party will give you a tough time in risk management of your company. Know More
