Practical questions
Frequently asked questions
What can due diligence verify?
Verification depends on the agreed scope, available records and lawful source access. The report distinguishes confirmed information, third-party statements, unresolved gaps and matters requiring specialist or official confirmation.
Does a satisfactory report guarantee that an investment is safe?
No. Due diligence reduces information risk but cannot eliminate future commercial, political, operational or counterparty risk. Decisions should reflect the report’s assumptions, limitations and recommended protections.
