Accounting Due Diligence

WHY ACCOUNTING DUE DILIGENCE?

Typically, Financial, Tax and Legal Due Diligences are performed before a company or business is sold. These make it possible to identify risks in time and to incorporate them in the purchase price or to reflect them in the purchase agreement.

The same also applies to the accounting: While not necessarily relevant to the purchase price, it nevertheless provides a better understanding of the numbers and prevents surprises, or allows these to be communicated to banks and shareholders early on, since many accounting decisions are often based on discretion and it can be diffcult to reach an objective conclusion.
