Lesson Outline


Due diligence is an investigation or audit of a potential investment consummated by a prospective buyer.

The objective is to confirm the accuracy of the seller’s information and appraise its value.

These investigations are typically undertaken by investors and companies considering M&A deals. Other situations may be buyers and sellers seeking to determine whether the other party has substantial assets to complete the purchase.

It may be a legal obligation or voluntary.

The breadth and magnitude of investigation varies from situation to situation.
