Planning due diligence investigations
A due diligence investigation is a reasonable method of uncovering all facts that would be of material interest to an investor or acquirer of a business. It may or may not uncover all such facts, but it should be done in a manner reasonably calculated to do so. Due diligence is essentially a way of preventing unnecessary harm to either party, or the entity involved, in a transaction.
