Where we support

Due diligence should separate verified facts, unresolved claims and material risks.

01

Corporate & ownership verification

Review of registration records, ownership, control, key officers and material corporate changes.

02

Financial review

Assessment of financial statements, ledgers, bank evidence, performance trends, working capital and significant balances.

03

Tax review

Review of registrations, filings, payment evidence, outstanding positions and material tax exposures.

04

Legal & regulatory review

Review of agreements, licences, disputes, compliance matters and other legal or regulatory documents with appropriate specialist input.

05

Operations, assets & fieldwork

Review of operating claims, major assets, locations, processes and physical evidence where the scope requires field verification.

06

Transaction terms & red flags

Assessment of key commercial terms, unresolved issues, dependencies and conditions that may affect the decision or transaction structure.

What the engagement should achieve

A decision based on evidence rather than presentation alone.

Verification

Material claims are tested against available evidence and clearly marked as verified, unverified or outstanding.

Risk visibility

Financial, tax, legal, operational and transaction risks are brought into one decision view.

Traceability

Findings are linked to the documents, interviews or field evidence supporting them.

Decision support

The client receives practical issues, outstanding questions and recommendations to inform the next step.

Typical engagements

The scope should match the size and risk of the decision.

01Pre-investment due diligence on a Nigerian business
02Acquisition or partnership review
03Counterparty and beneficial-ownership verification
04Financial, tax and compliance review before funding
05Asset and operational verification with fieldwork where appropriate
06Transaction-document and red-flag review

Due diligence does not convert unverified information into certainty. Our reports distinguish evidence reviewed, facts verified, limitations, red flags and outstanding matters so the client can judge the remaining risk.

Start with the issue

Before the commitment, test the evidence and surface the unresolved risks.
