Description
Due Diligence and Corporate Governance is a general guide to a subject of growing importance. This handbook shows you how due diligence
is used to assess the risk of any transaction, customer or investor for all businesses regardless of size or location.
There are three
main reasons for the rise in the profile and uses of due diligence:
– Companies are now doing deals all over the world and must be increasingly
vigilant about the individuals and companies they are dealing with – Investors, consumers and the media are putting pressure on companies
to avoid dealing with ethically, environmentally or socially irresponsible organisations – Internal controls must address the increasing
regulatory requirements introduced in response to corporate scandals and the terrorist threat
Due diligence allows companies to profile
the companies and individuals they are thinking of dealing with before any commitment is made, providing an effective safeguard against
criminal activity, reputational damage, or breaches of legislation. With its diverse coverage and focus on the practical uses of due
diligence, combined with explanations and illustrations of best practice by case studies, diagrams and checklists, this handbook is the
essential guide for all those involved in corporate transactions and risk management. The handbook: – Provides a broad introductory
guide to due diligence – Examines due diligence in the context of risk management and corporate governance – Is straightforward, comprehensive
and practical – Uses case studies to illustrate business users – Includes checklists to monitor risk management – Provides insights into
comparative corporate governance framework
