| Due diligence is the structured process of investigating and evaluating a person, company, or transaction before entering into a business relationship or making a financial decision. It involves reviewing relevant financial, legal, operational, and reputational information to identify potential risks, verify accuracy of representations, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and standards. By conducting due diligence, organizations reduce uncertainty, protect themselves from unexpected liabilities, and make informed decisions that support long-term stability and sustainable growth. |
