Transactional Due Diligence

 

A failed transaction can be costly for any business. Kroll provides operational and financial due diligence for all business transactions, including acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures.


How We Investigate

We can provide due diligence for either side of a transaction, buyers or sellers. Our experts can identify unseen opportunities, while minimising any exposure to risks, by identifying them early enough to factor into the deal structure. Kroll’s comprehensive evaluation includes:

  • Evaluating the integrity of individuals – both personally and professionally
  • Analyzing the quality of reported assets, earnings and cash flows
  • Assessing the financial and accounting control environments
  • Gauging the strength of relationships with customers and partners

Kroll can help make difficult decisions easier by identifying target weaknesses in any transaction and exposing potential liabilities before the deal takes place. We not only review past data, but consider the future financial implications that the transaction may bring.


The Kroll Advantage

Kroll's due diligence services are the industry standard. For over 30 years, we have helped clients reduce financial and reputational risks, and the losses associated with them, in transactions spanning the globe. Our investigative team is able to find and verify information that may not otherwise come to light until a transaction is complete.

Kroll assesses retailer’s prospects

Kroll was asked by a hedge fund to help assess the prospects of a bankrupt retailer in which it was considering investing. To understand whether the management was succeeding in driving top line revenue, the fund required granular sales and margin data, which was not available. Instead Kroll gathered qualitative and quantitative information from a range of sources which served as leading indicators of the retailer’s financial results. Our work suggested that the enterprise was failing due to skeptical customers and employee uncertainty. Shortly after the report was delivered, the retailer announced that it was changing its strategy.
