Financial Due Diligence
The number of corporate insolvencies is set to rise as tougher economic conditions and the lasting weaknesses from the pandemic shutdowns continue to impose their effect. Therefore, it is more vital than ever that you are equipped to go beyond a mere look at the financial accounts and engage professional scepticism to identify potential issues before they become your problem.
Human Due Diligence
W. C. Fields famously said that he would never join a club that would have him as a member. Joining a board irretrievably enmeshes your reputation with that of your fellow directors, CEO, and chair. What should you look for, and where might you find the information to evaluate the team before you know the ‘players’?
Strategic Due Diligence
How can you assess the company’s apparent strategy to identify thoughtful interview questions and to avoid joining a company that is about to stop succeeding and start failing?
It is crucial to scrutinise a company's strategic vision, operational execution, and market position. Examine the company's strategic plans, mission statements, and annual reports. These documents often outline the company's long-term goals, competitive advantages, and market positioning. Evaluate whether these strategies are coherent, realistic, and aligned with current industry trends and economic conditions.
