What is financial due diligence?
Financial due diligence is a comprehensive investigation of a target company financial position, performance, and risks before an acquisition, investment, or partnership. It verifies reported results, identifies hidden liabilities, and uncovers risks that could affect the transaction.
When should financial due diligence be conducted?
Financial due diligence should be conducted after a letter of intent or term sheet is signed but before the transaction closes. This gives you the findings needed to confirm the price, negotiate adjustments, or walk away if significant issues are discovered.
What are the most common issues uncovered in due diligence?
Common findings include overstated earnings, unrecorded liabilities, KRA compliance gaps, related party transactions, working capital issues, and dependency on key customers or suppliers that may not continue post-transaction.
Can due diligence findings be used to renegotiate the price?
Yes. If due diligence uncovers issues that affect the value of the business — such as hidden liabilities, overstated earnings, or compliance gaps — the findings can be used to renegotiate the purchase price or transaction terms.
