Restructuring & transaction readiness
For groups preparing for a sale, merger, new investment or debt restructuring, with balance-sheet issues to resolve before due diligence.
Due diligence starts with the balances nobody has explained
Long-outstanding cash, advances, intercompany and creditor balances are resolved on economic substance, legal obligation and evidence – not by reclassification.
- 01 Long-outstanding cash, advances and receivables before a sale or capital raise.
- 02 The group plans to sell, merge or bring in an investor and needs to be ready for due diligence.
- 03 Intercompany balances or debts to other creditors need restructuring.
- 04 Assets or inventory cannot be reliably substantiated.
- 05 Due diligence findings must be remediated before closing.
Four pieces of work, one set of facts
Balance-sheet remediation
Each balance reviewed for supporting evidence, the responsible party, relevant legal rights or obligations and an appropriate resolution.
Capital & shareholder history
Capital history, shareholder and related-party balances, funding readiness.
Internal-control readiness
Key-process controls, risk and control matrix, delegation of authority.
Transaction readiness
Data room, issue register and coordination with auditors, legal counsel and licensed advisers.
From data request to a position you can defend
