Due Diligence or Shrewd Diligence?

Stan Lees

Chapter Chapter 8 in Global Acquisitions, 2003, pp 95-108 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Financial, legal and commercial audits have always been at the very heart of the diligence process. In part because they are a legal necessity (although it is worth noting that what is mandatory varies with the legislation in each country). In part because managers believe they are the most important investigations prior to any deal. However, these are not our concern here. The procedures are well documented and there are armies of experts in every country who can offer whatever advice and assistance is required when going global.
