Financial & operational due diligence

An investment decision requires an understanding of the business beyond its reported financial statements. NMC examines historical performance, earnings quality, operating arrangements and potential exposures to help identify matters that could influence transaction value or future performance.

Financial due diligence

Review of historical financial statements, revenue trends, profitability, cash flows, assets and liabilities to assess the financial position of a business under consideration.

Quality of earnings

Analysis of unusual, exceptional and non-recurring transactions to distinguish sustainable operating earnings from items that may distort reported profitability.

Working capital & financial exposure

Assessment of receivables, payables, inventory, financial obligations and other balance-sheet items that may affect transaction consideration and future liquidity.

Operational due diligence

Examination of operating processes, cost structures, profitability drivers and business scalability to assess operational effectiveness and identify areas of potential exposure.

Management & workforce assessment

Review of management capabilities, organisational dependencies and workforce considerations relevant to the continuity and future performance of the business.

Technology & systems assessment

Review of the adequacy of relevant technology infrastructure, information systems and associated operational dependencies, including potential integration considerations, with specialist technical input where required.

Transaction risk assessment
