What is Financial Due Diligence?
Every investment has its own level of risk, and without due diligence, the investor may be unable to understand that correctly. A systematic process helps to ensure that buyers and other stakeholders are on the same page at the time of a purchase.
Financial due diligence is the process to verify and review a potential deal and investment opportunity that is used to confirm all relevant facts and financial information, and verification of anything brought up during M&A deals or investment process.
