Dealing with Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is essentially a high-stakes poker game where the ultimate goal is arguably to make the smartest bet possible. For that, M&A due diligence steps in as the ace card. M&A due diligence serves as a pivotal area during a transaction, encompassing business, financial, legal, operational, and technical evaluations. It probes the viability and appropriateness of an acquisition strategy, revealing hidden risks and potential benefits that facilitate informed decision-making.
A comprehensive M&A due diligence can expose all facets of a company’s operations, performance, prospects, and financial health. It helps establish the veracity of claims made by the company up for acquisition or merger, exposing the real picture behind balance sheets and flowered language of annual reports. Plus, it assists in identifying potential integration problems, working out costs, and putting forth realistic forecasts for future performance.
Similarly, due diligence also extends to potential cultural clashes that could interfere with seamless integration post-acquisition. Resultantly, items like internal controls, corporate culture, relationships with key stakeholders, and even something as subtle as the emotional climate of the workplace are examined in due diligence procedures.
Hidden in the finite details of financial statements, taxation documents and many other numerical facts and figures, is the real story of a company’s financial health. This is where a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) steps in. A CPA can dissect these tangled numbers into an understandable narrative, revealing bottom-line implications of a potential M&A.
CPAs are well-versed in accounting best practices, tax legislation, risk management, and financial analytics. They hold the skills to carry out an unbiased, in-depth examination of a company’s financial statements, identify discrepancies, detect fraudulent activities, and assess the quality of earnings. Their expert scrutiny can flag up potential red-flags which would otherwise go unnoticed.
Furthermore, a CPA can use their financial acumen to calculate the most accurate representation of the company’s worth, enabling the “purchasing” company to negotiate a fair price. They can provide an elaborate prognosis of the organization’s future profits, help in assessing the anticipated return on investment, and plan strategic post-acquisition tax liabilities to maximize economic value.
