Due Diligence Security Audit

Looking to Find Out Everything before You Buy a Business?

Every vendor will be concerned during the due diligence process that something may be discovered that would jeopardise the completion of the sale. On the other hand, as the purchaser, you would want to ensure that all these skeletons had been identified before putting your signature to a contract. Will you discover them? When will you discover them, before or after completing your purchase? Will they expose a problem or problems that seriously reduce the anticipated return on the investment?

Due Diligence is the last stage in the process of buying a business, ‘The Final Frontier’. This is the time when you and your advisors have access to all the company’s records, books and files and your last opportunity to establish the veracity of the figures presented to you and the ‘health’ of the business. Once you complete your purchase it may be too late and the consequences can be enormous.

We believe that it may be helpful for the Due Diligence process to include a review of a company’s systems, procedures and information, including the physical security of premises.

All eventualities may not be covered by normal warranties. It is in your best interests to discover any procedural shortcomings sooner rather than later. When completing a purchase it is preferable to be aware of all the issues that the business faces rather than discover them with the passage of time. If you know where the weaknesses lay you can take immediate steps to counteract any threat.
