DUE DILIGENCE

WHY DUE-DILIGENCE REQUIRED

Foreign companies looking to do business in India or any other third country should perform a due diligence check to identify or prepare against any possible risk exposure. Due diligence is usually conducted in cases of mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, and IPO.

Every company in host country need to comply with local and country level legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and due to this, tax regime can be difficult to navigate. Therefore, due diligence is required to ensure that the local company is in compliance with all the necessary laws and rules, and has been providing accurate information to the foreign company inquiring about its business. Collating, presenting, and understanding this evidence, however, can be complex and time-consuming.
