DESCRIPTION
Getting the RIGHT information from clients is one of the most difficult parts of a consultants job. The purpose of the Information Request List is to facilitate the selection of information to be reviewed.
Designing an effective information request list is important to any transaction process. This skill is rarely taught – this list provides a comprehensive guideline to designing the perfect information request list.
• Cover letter to the client
• Instructions to the client in completing the information request list
• Legal information requests which include regulatory, corporate and commercial requests
• Financial information requests which include balance sheet, income statement, taxation and forward looking requests.
It is advisable to request prioritized information that is specific to the target company. As such, important that the required list is tailored to focus on the specific target company taking into account the scope of the data to be provided, which reflects the specific risks of the transaction.
This template is meticulously structured to cover all critical areas of due diligence, including Information Technology, Real Property, and Commercial Arrangements. It ensures that no stone is left unturned, providing a thorough examination of Intellectual Property, Exchange Control, and Competition/Anti-trust issues. The detailed sections on Taxation, Pension and Provident Funds, and Litigation are designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of the target company's financial health and legal standing.
The Financial Information section is particularly robust, encompassing Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and current trading and business plans. It also delves into control frameworks and governance, insurance, and customer data. This template is an indispensable tool for any M&A professional looking to conduct a rigorous and efficient due diligence process.
