Financial & Tax Due Diligence Overview

Understand what you are buying, what can change value and what needs protection.

A diligence report should do more than catalogue documents. It should reconcile reported performance to sustainable earnings, identify unrecorded obligations and explain how findings affect price, structure and closing terms.

Financial Due Diligence

Analyse revenue, margins, EBITDA, cash conversion, balance-sheet quality and forecast assumptions.

Tax Due Diligence

Review material direct tax, GST, withholding, payroll and transaction-related exposures.

Vendor Due Diligence

Prepare a seller-controlled fact base, identify issues early and reduce disruption across multiple bidders.

Targeted / Red-Flag Review

Investigate priority risks when time, access or transaction stage requires a focused scope.

Strategic Perspective

Reported EBITDA is not the same as maintainable earnings—and accounting debt is not the complete debt picture.

We test the bridge from statutory accounts to management reporting and from EBITDA to cash.

One-offs, related-party items, capitalised costs, cut-off issues, customer concentration and aggressive recognition can materially alter valuation.

Findings are presented with quantified impact where evidence permits, together with open items and recommended deal responses.

Advice is tailored to the proposed activities, stakeholders and timeline.

Information Required

What should you prepare for the initial review?

Audited financial statements and trial balances
Monthly management accounts
Revenue and customer analysis
Working-capital schedules
Debt, lease and contingent-liability details
Tax returns, assessments and notices
Budgets and forecasts
Data-room index and transaction documents
Risk & Readiness

A clean audit opinion does not answer transaction-specific questions.

Statutory audit and deal diligence serve different purposes. Diligence focuses on maintainable earnings, cash, liabilities and risks relevant to a buyer or investor, within the agreed scope and information access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common financial & tax due diligence questions.

What is financial due diligence?
It is a transaction-focused review of historical performance, earnings quality, cash flows, working capital, debt, balance-sheet exposures and forecast assumptions.
What is tax due diligence?
It reviews material tax positions, compliance history, disputes and potential exposures that may transfer economically with the transaction.
How long does due diligence take?
Timing depends on scope, entity complexity, years covered and data-room readiness. A focused review may be shorter than a full-scope engagement.
Does due diligence guarantee that no fraud or liability exists?
No. It is performed within agreed procedures, materiality and information access; it does not provide an absolute guarantee or replace a forensic investigation.
What is quality of earnings?
It assesses how much reported profit is recurring, operational, properly recognised and likely to convert into cash.
Can findings affect the purchase agreement?
Yes. Findings may influence price, working-capital targets, indemnities, escrows, conditions precedent or post-closing actions, with legal counsel drafting the terms.
