We offer the following types of reviews:

  • Pre-lending

As the needs and expectations of each client is unique, we structure our due diligence service offerings according to the circumstance and situation.

We always aim to add value to the due diligence process by not only reporting independently on the proposal at hand, but also by:

  • Identifying areas of opportunity which may not previously have been considered
  • Considering operational and management factors as part of our review (with the involvement of appropriate industry expertise where required)
  • Offering constructive amendments and alternatives to proposals to enhance their viability

Baker Tilly Monteiro Heng provides cost effective, value added services carried out by seasoned professionals with experience and expertise in many industries, using proven methodologies to maximise results while mitigating risks.

 

The Importance of Quality Due Diligence

Quality due diligence plays a critical role in a wide range of business transactions. Its importance is even greater for investors contemplating transactions in unfamiliar jurisdictions, as is commonly the case with investments in Asia. Some of the specific issues that investors face when undertaking investments in Asia include:

  • Corporate governance concerns
  • Significant related party transactions, which are not always readily apparent
  • Generally lower quality of information
  • A greater proportion of “off balance sheet” transactions
  • A less formal approach to business transactions and agreements
  • Complicated group structures, often controlled by extended family groups
  • Cultural issues
  • Tax, regulatory and legal considerations

Baker Tilly Monteiro Heng’s seasoned Transaction Services teams are handpicked for each transaction to ensure the right blend of skills, experience and language abilities are matched to each client’s requirements.

With a broad range of commercial, hands-on experience gained in the firm’s practices of Restructure and Turnaround, Insolvency Management and Forensic Accounting, our staff understand what it takes for a business to succeed, and are alert to the common causes of business failure. We are able to offer a more commercially-oriented, practical approach to the due diligence process.

As well as assisting prospective investors, we also offer sellers valuable vendor due diligence advisory services. We work closely with the vendor to identify potential value-impacting issues which may come out during the sale process, thereby allowing the vendor to proactively manage such issues in advance.

Our restructuring due diligence advisory services ensure that our clients obtain the best possible information on which to base their negotiation strategies.
