Due Diligence

Acquisition due diligence

During the acquisition process, any risks to the operation must be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, it is important to remain updated on any relevant aspect about the company you're looking to purchase. Likewise, past results and projects must be evaluated and it should be fully understood how the operation price has been set. 

Forvis Mazars can help you:

• Gain an understanding of the performance of your target company
• Identify and analyse the key value drivers behind the acquisition price
• Identify potential risks
• Maximise financial and tax positions
• Help draft price adjustment and warranty and indemnity clauses and implement them
• Conduct a post-acquisition audit, preparing your opening balance sheet
