Revaluation of assets create valuable opportunities for investing, and there has never been a greater need to know what you are going into, what the true state of a business is, where the risks are and what will be needed for success. The due diligence process is the “one shot” most investors get at ascertaining the nitty grittys of a business. The findings of a due diligence exercise are critical on ascertaining what needs to be done in order for the investment to be made and whether the valuation they have initially attributed to the business required any adjustments.
Mastering Due Diligence is an essential training course for anyone involved in the due diligence process, covering a variety of the toughest issues and traps in commercial, accounting, tax, legal, ESG, and forensic due diligence. This workshop will ensure you have the skills and knowledge to effectively research, evaluate and understand an existing or proposed business, not only from a financial viewpoint, but from a commercial and organizational perspective.
