Infos

This nuts-and-bolts guide examines all aspects of an M&A due
diligence--from coming to the decision to acquire a company, to who
should be on the due diligence team, to the actual process and the
final report and post-closing follow up. It advocates a focus on
both risk mitigation and shareholder value creation, and emphasizes
a holistic approach that spans from planning to post-acquisition
integration. The tentative contents is: (1) Introduction; (2)
Planning for value creation: growth strategy; (3) Engagement and
pursuit; (4) Preparing for due diligence; (5) Validation of value:
performing due diligence; (6) Assessment of due diligence results;
(7) Optimizing value: post diligence negotiation; (8) Extracting
value: post-transaction integration.

Rezensionen

"The authors of this book offer what they call a holistic approach to the due diligence aspects of corporate mergers and acquisitions. Although the authors briefly point to legal considerations in the M&A process, this is not a legal title. It was written by CPAs to provide practical guidance to due diligence activities. The authors accomplish this goal therefore the book would be more approporiate for an undergraduate or graduate business library than an academic law library." (Legal Information Alert, Vol 29, No 3)
