Objectives of a Due Diligence System
The due diligence department must coordinate with all other key operations of the organization to establish overall objectives of the due diligence system. Specific objectives are important to the success of the system, because they provide the focal points for tracking progress. Both qualitative and quantitative metrics can be used for this tracking activity. Some of the many metrics that can be used include:
- Improvement of Profitability
- Risk Reduction
- Disposal of negative assets
- Reduction of costs
- Elimination of ineffective systems
- Elimination of inaccurate data
- Improvements in change processes
- Improvements in documentation
- Improvements in reporting to outside agencies
This kind of highly-efficient due diligence system can and more importantly should support all major and minor corporate events and processes, including:
- Financings, both Debt & Equity
- Expansions
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Technology acquisitions and licensings
- Product development
- Supply chain monitoring
- Strategic and tactical planning
- Operations
- Marketing and sales
Ultimately, the system shold bolster shareholder and employee satisfaction.
