Due Diligence
What is due diligence?
Due diligence is the term used to describe doing your research on a business, person or potential investment before signing the contract. You need to do the hard work first to make sure the financial position and results of the entity as represented by the vendor are accurate.
Do your research
If you're considering acquiring, investing in or merging with a business now is the time to perform an investigation of the potential risks and benefits associated with that decision.
By knowing what you are getting into and deciding if the potential benefits outweigh the risks, you are better placed to make a more informed decision.
By combining the strength of experience of our assurance, advisory and tax teams, we assist you in your decision to go ahead, or not, and provide advice on the most appropriate structures for tax and management of the acquired entity.
In our due diligence report we can include:
- Reliability of financial information
- Potential & current liabilities
- Accounting systems and controls
- Business and industry risks
- Key operational processes
- Critical success factors
- Tax implications, risks & opportunities
- Business synergy & cost saving opportunities

Forensic Accounting
Investigate beyond the numbers
Fraud is a serious risk to any business regardless of size or stature, so it is important to have all of the facts whether you decide to formally pursue the allegation or gather evidence for disciplinary action.
Forensic accounting, also known as an investigative audit, brings together the multi disciplinary expertise of individuals within accounting, audit and taxation divisions when conducting an inquiry for the purpose of fraud investigation.
We understand that possible fraudulent activity can be a delicate issue. Therefore our forensic accountants act with the utmost discretion and high professional standards when carrying out an investigative audit.
What does the team do?
We conduct our investigation based on agreed upon procedures set out by management or the board and work with you to gather information, investigate suspicions and present a comprehensive report of our findings.
Our team analyse more than just the numbers; we draw on our experience and knowledge to apply rational thought to our investigation and highlight any discrepancies.
If you require an investigative audit talk to one of our professionals today. Or return to the audit & assurance services for more information.
