Performing financial due diligence for a merger or acquisition involves more than simply reviewing the target financial statements.
· Do the financial statements reasonably reflect the operations of the business?
· Could there be hidden assets or liabilities that are not represented on the balance sheets?
· Are there discrepancies between the financial statements and tax returns?
