DUE DILIGENCE -
Business and Economic Analysis

Many companies reserve due diligence for acquisitions, but we believe due diligence should be an ongoing process in all aspects of business. Opening a new office, taking on a new client, launching new products, entering a new market and of course buying into an existing business should all be preceded by review and analysis. Our staff of auditing, accounting and law enforcement experts provide a completely thorough due diligence that encompasses the worldwide nature of business.

• New Product Offerings - before you invest time and money introducing a new product, have our team examine the existing market, investigate the competition and make strategic suggestions.

• Expanding into Foreign Markets - you don’t need to get bogged down in a quagmire of local customs and laws when trying to open a new office. You want to get down to business. We can show you the ins and outs of the region you’re interested in, make sure you know the key decision makers in the area and get you up to speed on the local political and economic climates.

• Affiliates and Joint Ventures - so many companies these days are spinning off business units or taking on partners. Often one company can turn out to be an intermingled web of affiliates and partners. Our team traces each thread of the web to give you a clear picture of exactly with whom you’re doing business.

• Acquisitions and Partnerships - don’t sign on the dotted line until our accounting, auditing and investigation team has conducted a detailed review of all aspects of the business. In addition to going through the books with a fine-tooth comb, we research past use of technology, introduction of new products, industry ranking, affiliated corporations, and key staff members.

• Internal Checks and Balances - sometimes in the name of efficiency companies allow checks and balances to deteriorate over time. This can leave them wide open to fraud and employee theft. We can come in and examine your operations from both an overall corporate standpoint and a department-to-department view. We will do an internal audit as well as a procedure review and suggest checks and balances that are effective as well as efficient.
