Due diligence is the comprehensive, systematic examination and analysis of a company or project in order to assess risks, opportunities and all relevant financial, legal, operational and strategic aspects before an investment or purchase decision is made. Put simply, the purpose of due diligence is not to “buy a pig in a poke”, but to obtain an accurate picture of the acquisition object. Financial and HR due diligence are essential parts of this, as they provide more clarity about the earnings, cash flow and human resources strengths, the asset, debt and personnel structure as well as possible financial and personnel risks of the target company.
