Due Diligence for Business Transactions: Comprehensive Evaluation for Acquisitions and Mergers, Focusing on Risks and Business Value.

The objective of a due diligence audit, better known in the business field as "Financial Due Diligence," is to serve as support and a basis for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of acquisition or merger transactions between two or more entities. Due Diligence is essential to understand the value of a company.

Through due diligence, a quantitative evaluation can be conducted between two or more entities. This process is carried out by a potential buyer or investor of a company when initiating initial negotiations to determine the company's risks and to analyze its economic and financial reality.

This service involves, among other things, determining the company's equity value, earnings before interest, depreciation, and taxes, the fair value of its assets and liabilities, and an evaluation of the company's compliance with current tax regulations. Additionally, it includes comments on primary records and controls involved in the accounting and internal control system.
