frequently asked questions

Financial due diligence aims to validate the financial information provided by a company and assess its financial performance and risks.

The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the business and the scope of the due diligence. A typical process may last between a few weeks to several months.

The process generally requires detailed financial records, business plans, lists of assets and liabilities, details of contingent liabilities, and more.

While financial due diligence greatly reduces the risk of a poor transaction, it doesn't guarantee success as other non-financial factors can also influence the outcome.
