Due Diligence Evaluation is an exhaustive and thorough analysis of a business, financial or legal matter. It involves careful research into the nature, circumstances, and operations of the subject of the investigation to confirm facts, uncover risks and seek opportunities. The goal of the due diligence process is to provide decision makers with the information they need to make informed decisions while protecting them from any potential liabilities. Through this methodical evaluation, organizations can understand their target’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats before moving forward with an investment, merger, strategic alliance or other action.
