For buyers, thorough due diligence reduces the risk involved in purchasing another company. Adequate due diligence gives the buyer transparent oversight and enables an accurate valuation of the target company based on the risks and opportunities it brings to the table.

Due diligence is the process of gathering and verifying relevant information about a company or person to enable the ordering party to make an informed decision. The ordering party can be the buyer or the seller – due diligence has value for both parties in any M&A scenario.

Due diligence should enhance the quality of any information that the parties already hold, but should also provide additional information, for example, that relating to ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), media coverage, litigation, enforcement actions or reputational concerns.
