DUE-DILIGENCE

Due-diligence is an investigation of an entity or person prior to signing a contract, or an act with a certain standard of care. The term originated in the business world, where due diligence is required to validate financial statements. The goal of the process is to ensure that all stakeholders associated with a financial endeavor have the information they need to assess risk accurately. It can be a legal obligation, but more commonly apply to voluntary investigations. A common example of due diligence in various industries is the process through which a potential acquirer evaluates a target company or its assets for an acquisition. The theory behind due diligence holds that performing this type of investigation contributes significantly to informed decision making by enhancing the amount and quality of information available to decision makers and by ensuring that this information is systematically used to deliberate in a reflexive manner on the decision at hand and all its costs, benefits, and risks.

BP Karl has undertaken due-diligence assignments on behalf of investors and Development Partners to validate existing information regarding the financial intelligence of submissions for an acquisition or funding partnerships. Such activities enable the client to attach an independent value to the intended acquisition or funding proposal without relying on publicly available information. This is because an acquisition or disposal is intended to lead into an immediate action and availability of the intended cash flow.

Other due-diligence exercises especially those for government involve verification of the accuracy of the submitted information in regard to a given application. Quite often, potential dealers with government and development partners tend to overstate their capability, illegally increase their non-existing value, inflate their experience, undertake cosmetic recording of financial statements, and thereby win tenders. Immediately after winning the tender, institutions get a shock of their life when it is realized that some of the information submitted by the bidder may not have been accurate as they do not match their visibility on the job.
