It is intended to give the prospective buyer an overview of the current and expected financial situation of the target company and thus demonstrates, what sustainable gains can be expected in the future. The analyses of a financial due diligence are essential for decision making in the run-up to a transaction and are therefore critical for the management of a potential buyer in an acquisition. Their results are regularly use to determine the transaction price and to draft a purchase agreement.<\/p>\n In addition to the analysis of corporate assets, the financial and earnings situation is of great importance. The assets, earnings prospects and financing structure are important indicators for the potential buyer to assess whether the transaction is profitable and what purchase price he is willing to pay.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row aios_row_type=”image_1_3_text_2_3″ full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3211″ img_size=”300×250″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text aios_text_headline=”Structure and content of financial due diligence”]The structure and content of a due diligence are always customised to the target company. However, the scope of the study usually includes two main objectives:<\/p>\n Risk Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n On behalf of a potential buyer, we also analyse which risks could reduce future revenues or whether there are unplanned cash outflows. Losses of revenue can be caused, for example, due to reaching the end of the offered product or service’s life cycle as well as by expiring or vulnerable patents. Unplanned outflows of payments can also arise among other things from investment backlogs at the target company, from warranty or guarantee payments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The economic content of long-term contracts with suppliers or lessors should be considered in this context as well. The actual value of principal assets is also subject to financial due diligence, e.g:<\/p>\n We do not conduct a financial due diligence according to the type and scope of an audit of annual financial statements, but rather carry out plausibility analyses of essential information on the one hand and very detailed audits of individual data or facts identified as critical on the other hand.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row aios_row_type=”aios_parallax_background” full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^2662|url^https:\/\/aios.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/1-Hero-Image.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^1 Hero-Image|description^null” bg_img_attach=”fixed” gap=”0″ full_height=”” video_bg=”” video_bg_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lMJXxhRFO1k” video_bg_parallax=”” parallax=”” parallax_image=”” parallax_speed_video=”1.5″ parallax_speed_bg=”1.5″ css_animation=””][vc_column video_bg=”” video_bg_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lMJXxhRFO1k” video_bg_parallax=”” parallax=”” parallax_image=”” parallax_speed_video=”1.5″ parallax_speed_bg=”1.5″ css_animation=”” el_class=”slider-15 corner-bottom-left”][vc_column_text css_animation=””]\n In order to simplify and accelerate a sales process, there is the option of a qualified company-specific due diligence for the vendor.
