KPMG Diligence+

Traditional approaches to due diligence are no longer sufficient in today's transaction environment, especially for decision-makers looking to maximise value from a transaction.  

The ever-changing M&A world is influenced by various factors such as economic challenges, digital disruption, geopolitical risks, regulatory requirements and ESG considerations. In order to maximise value, extensive aspects of a deal must be analysed and included in the decision-making process.

The correct assessment of risks and value enhancement potential on the basis of Diligence+ is crucial to the success of a transaction. It is the responsibility of the decision-makers to realise potential and manage risks.

KPMG Diligence+ offers a holistic, data-supported perspective on the risks and value enhancement potential of a transaction. It provides the necessary insights for precise decisions in a dynamic environment, creates transparency about the risks and identifies potential for value enhancement.

Our extended Diligence+ approach supports decision-makers in the following aspects in particular:

KPMG Diligence+ uses sector-specific value driver diagrams to analyse the financial and operational aspects that influence a company's performance and serve as drivers of enterprise value. This targeted approach provides a focus on the value drivers and both the identification and quantification of potential to maximise value.

Diligence+ focuses on the risks relevant to decision-making and offers specific recommendations for action. The risks are considered holistically, from finance, tax and IT to legal aspects, HR and ESG.

Based on KPMG's extensive proprietary data and the industry experience of our teams, KPMG Diligence+ provides you with insights and concrete recommendations for action that maximise the value of your company or the target company.

We summarise our Diligence+ results in integrated and interactive reports that provide you with transparency on the risks and potential for value enhancement in connection with a transaction. Our findings are the decisive factor for success in shaping the deal or transformation process. We offer you the expertise to manage the process effectively.
