Book Description
During the past several years, successful companies of all sizes have initiated international transactions in record numbers. The due diligence required to effectively research, value, and complete these complex deals (mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and private placements) has always been important. Now the type of thoughtful and careful analysis needed must take place under intense pressure because companies increasingly must compete in Internet-time. This new book is an invaluable guidebook for companies trying to capitalize on the opportunities in both developed and emerging cross-border markets. Many global transactions fail to meet the parties' expectations, and a primary culprit is inadequate due diligence. Expanding businesses must answer difficult questions (especially if the target partner lacks a financial performance track record and significant assets), such as: Why (if at all) should we do this deal? What are the rules going in and what happens if things go wrong? Where are the tax, legal, financial, and operational traps and what are the opportunities? Noted experts discuss critical topics corporate executives—and all those involved with their company's legal, accounting, and tax matters—need to know to successfully complete complex, global transactions. Valuable tips and tools for business leaders: • Expert analysis, insights, and strategies from experienced practitioners and leading authorities in cross-border matters • Explanation of "The Seven Pillars" of due diligence—from corporate planning to operational, financial, legal, tax, accounting, and people/organizational considerations • Presents best practices of corporations, professionals, and investors in obtaining needed information • Valuable appendices, including due diligence forms, agreements, checklists, and model letters as ready-to-use tools
