Due Diligence
Due Diligence
Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation or audit of a potential investment or acquisition to confirm all material facts, financial records, legal issues, and any other relevant details before finalizing a transaction. It’s a critical step undertaken by buyers, investors, or lenders to assess the risks associated with a particular transaction and ensure that they have a complete understanding of what they are getting into.
