Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence Checklist
5 February, 2021Use a checklist to ensure your M&A deal is accurate and complete.
Every merger and acquisition project has a lot of moving parts, and it is up to the buyer to confirm that the values represented by the seller are accurate. This Due Diligence process requires examination, evaluation and analysis of every facet of the target company’s operations. The goals of the process are to accurately establish the value of the target company and its acquisition cost, and to create a baseline for the acquirer's strategies to preserve and increase the value of the acquisition target.
While the content of an M&A Due Diligence brief varies based on the company and the terms of the offer, the structure of the filing and the points it must address are similar, which means that ShareVault’s Merger and Acquisition Due Diligence Checklist will ensure your team prepares a comprehensive brief.
