Transaction due diligence on a vendor model

How due diligence on the vendor model adds value to a transaction: valuation drivers, benchmarked assumptions, tax and accounting checks and reconciliation.

Webinar · Recording · Presented by Ben Morris and Irena Karasamani · 2 May 2019

Due diligence on the financial model for an upcoming transaction gives a deeper view of the risks and rewards of the deal.

This webinar shows where the due diligence process adds value. You can use the same approach in your own in‑house analysis to improve the quality of your transaction recommendations.

What you will learn

  • Add flexible valuation analysis to find the main drivers and risks: trapped cash, shareholder loans, director fees and capital structure
  • Benchmark the main macroeconomic assumptions, such as FX, deposit rates and debt interest rates
  • Confirm the tax and accounting approach in the target market
  • Reconcile the equity model to the seller or bank model
  • Confirm that the model assumptions match the technical, market, legal and contract documents
