The Value of Due Diligence
In the business world, due diligence is commonly used in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions, where one company intends to buy another. In these cases, due diligence typically refers to the process of investigating a target company's financial and operational condition prior to the acquisition. The goal is to identify any potential problems or risks that could lessen the value of the target company or make the deal less attractive. Failure to conduct due diligence can have severe consequences, as illustrated by the Enron scandal.
