Finally, this paper summarizes the principles and suggestions that consulting companies should follow when conducting due diligence.

Purpose, scope and process of 1. due diligence

The purpose of due diligence is to solve the problem of information asymmetry between the two sides of the transaction, so that investors can fully understand the real situation of the target enterprise, assess its value and potential, find its problems and risks, and make reasonable investment decisions. The scope of due diligence generally includes the following aspects:

Financial due diligence: mainly to review and analyze the financial situation, financial management, financial statements, accounting policies, taxation, etc. of the target enterprise to assess its profitability, solvency, cash flow, asset quality, etc.

Legal due diligence: mainly to review and analyze the legal status, legal documents and legal risks of the target enterprise to confirm its legality, compliance and effectiveness.

Business due diligence: mainly to review and analyze the market situation, competitive advantage, customer relationship, supply chain management, marketing strategy, etc. of the target enterprise to assess its market share, competitiveness, growth potential, etc.

Technical due diligence: mainly to review and analyze the technical status, technological innovation, technological protection, etc. of the target enterprise to assess its technical level, technical advantages, technical risks, etc.

Management due diligence: mainly to review and analyze the organizational structure, human resources, corporate culture, etc. of the target enterprise to assess its management efficiency, management level, management risk, etc.

The process of due diligence generally includes the following steps:

Sign a confidentiality agreement: in order to protect the commercial secrets of both parties to the transaction and avoid information leakage or improper use, both parties need to sign a confidentiality agreement before starting the due diligence, specifying the confidentiality obligations and liabilities for breach of contract.

Make a due diligence plan: according to the purpose and characteristics of the transaction, make a due diligence plan, clarify the scope, focus, method, timetable, etc., and determine the members and division of labor of the due diligence team.

Obtain and verify information: obtain relevant information from the target company, and conduct verification and analysis. If necessary, you can also obtain more information through on-site visits, on-site interviews, and open channel inquiries.

Issue a due diligence report: according to the results of verification and analysis, issue a due diligence report, summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the target enterprise, find out its existing problems and risks, and put forward corresponding suggestions and opinions.

Follow-up work: according to the content of the due diligence report, communicate and negotiate with the target enterprise to solve or avoid the problems and risks found, and carry out follow-up work such as transaction structure design, contract drafting review, and legal opinion issuance as needed.

Risks and difficulties in access to 2. information

Information acquisition is the most basic and important link in the process of due diligence. Without sufficient and accurate information as support, effective and in-depth analysis cannot be carried out. However, in practice, consulting firms often encounter the following risks and difficulties:

Target enterprises do not cooperate or deliberately conceal: some target enterprises may be out of the uncertainty of the transaction, the protection of information or the lack of trust in consulting companies and other reasons, unwilling or not to provide the required information in a timely manner, or deliberately conceal or tamper with some important information, such as liabilities, litigation, losses, etc., thus affecting the efficiency and accuracy of due diligence.

Incomplete or untrue information: Some target enterprises may provide incomplete or untrue information due to management confusion, lack of systems or human error, such as irregular financial statements, incomplete contracts, illegal documents, etc., thus increasing the difficulty and risk of due diligence.

The amount of information is too large or too small: some target enterprises may be due to large scale, complex business or transactions involving multiple parties, resulting in their provision of information is too complex and cumbersome, such as hundreds of contracts, thousands of invoices, etc., thus bringing huge workload and pressure to the due diligence team. On the other hand, some target enterprises may provide too simple and sketchy information, such as only one financial statement, only one business license, etc., due to their small size, simple business or few parties involved in the transaction, thus creating problems of insufficient information and difficulties in judgment for the due diligence team.

Unreliable or undisclosed sources of information: some target enterprises may provide unreliable or undisclosed sources of information due to the particularity of their industries, the restrictions of their countries or the sensitivity of the fields involved, such as the lack of authority of industry data, the prohibition of foreigners from accessing certain information by national laws, the involvement of national security or commercial secrets, etc., thus challenging the information and legitimacy of the due diligence team.

In response to these risks and difficulties, the consulting firm needs to adopt the following strategies and measures:

Clear due diligence: In developing a due diligence plan, the consulting firm needs to make clear due diligence priorities based on the purpose and characteristics of the transaction, I .e., to determine what information must be obtained, what information can be discarded, what information needs to be analyzed in depth, and what information can be processed simply. This can avoid wasting time and energy on irrelevant information, and also avoid negligence and loopholes in important information.

Field visit: When obtaining and verifying data, the consulting company cannot only rely on the written data provided by the target company, but also need to open its legs to visit the production and operation sites of the target company, customer suppliers, government departments and other related parties. Obtain more first-hand information by means of observation, interview, investigation, etc., and compare and verify it with the written data. This can increase the comprehensiveness and authenticity of the information, and also identify potential problems and risks.

Understand the industry and know the financial: in the analysis and evaluation of the target enterprise information, the consulting company needs to have a certain degree of industry knowledge and financial knowledge, in order to be able to target the enterprise's market situation, competitive advantage, financial situation and other reasonable judgment and forecast. If the consulting firm is not familiar with the industry in which the target enterprise is located, it can consult an industry expert or refer to an industry report; if the consulting firm is not clear about the financial data of the target enterprise, it can consult a financial expert or refer to financial norms.

Keep your mouth shut and keep confidential: when making due diligence, the consulting company needs to strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement and shall not disclose or disclose any information about the target enterprise to any unrelated party, including the existence, progress and results of due diligence. At the same time, the consulting company also needs to require the target enterprise to abide by the confidentiality agreement, and shall not disclose or disclose any information of the consulting company to any unrelated party, including the identity, background and intention of the consulting company. This can protect the commercial interests of both parties to the transaction and avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes.

The following is a specific case study of a Champu Consulting service client that illustrates its approach and measures to address risks and difficulties in information access:

Champu Consulting was commissioned by an American investment fund to conduct a due diligence on a Chinese e-commerce company. The e-commerce company is an entrepreneurial company, mainly engaged in the development and operation of cross-border e-commerce platforms, with millions of users and tens of millions of transactions. The US investment fund intends to make strategic investments in the e-commerce business to capture its share and growth potential in the Chinese market.

When formulating the due diligence plan, Shangpu Consulting clearly defined the market situation, technical situation, legal situation and financial situation of the e-commerce enterprise, and determined the members and division of labor of the due diligence team. Among them, a consultant with many years of experience in the e-commerce industry is responsible for the market situation; a technical expert with many years of experience in e-commerce platform development is responsible for the technical situation; a lawyer with many years of cross-border e-commerce legal experience is responsible for the legal situation; and an accountant with many years of e-commerce financial experience is responsible for the financial situation.

When obtaining and verifying information, in addition to requesting relevant information from the e-commerce company, Shangpu Consulting also obtains more information through the following methods:

Visit the headquarters, branches, warehouses and other places of the e-commerce enterprise to observe its production and operation, staff quality, equipment and facilities, etc;

Visit the main customers, suppliers, partners and other relevant parties of the e-commerce enterprise, and interview their evaluation, cooperation and future prospects of the e-commerce enterprise;

Inquire about the development trend, competition pattern, policies and regulations of the industry in which the e-commerce enterprise is located through online search, industry reports, government announcements and other public channels;

Through secret shopping, user survey, data analysis and other ways to test the e-commerce enterprise's platform function, user experience, transaction efficiency and other indicators.

In analyzing and evaluating the information of the e-commerce enterprise, Shangpu Consulting has used its own industry knowledge and financial knowledge to make reasonable judgments and forecasts on its market situation, technical situation, legal situation and financial situation. Among them, in terms of market conditions, Shangpu Consulting believes that the cross-border e-commerce industry in which the e-commerce company is located has high growth potential and competitive advantages, but it also faces uncertain factors such as policies and regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, logistics and distribution. Impact; In terms of technical status, Shangpu Consulting believes that the platform functions of the e-commerce company are relatively complete and advanced, which can meet the diverse needs and preferences of users, however, it also needs continuous technological innovation and protection to cope with market changes and competitive pressures; in terms of legal status, Shangpu Consulting believes that the legal status of this e-commerce enterprise is relatively legal and compliant, and there are no major lawsuits or disputes involved. However, it also needs to pay attention to complying with the legal regulations and standards of different countries and regions to avoid legal risks; in terms of financial status, shangpu Consulting believes that the financial situation of the e-commerce enterprise is relatively healthy and stable, with high profitability and cash flow, but it also needs to pay attention to controlling costs and risks in order to maintain financial balance and security.

In conducting its due diligence, Champ Consulting strictly abides by the confidentiality agreement and does not disclose or disclose any information about the e-commerce enterprise or the U.S. investment fund to any unrelated party. At the same time, Shangpu Consulting also requires the e-commerce enterprise to abide by the confidentiality agreement and not disclose or disclose any information about Shangpu Consulting or the US investment fund to any unrelated party.

In the end, based on the results of the analysis and evaluation, Champ Consulting issued a due diligence report and made the following recommendations and opinions to the U.S. investment fund:

The e-commerce enterprise is a target enterprise with high value and potential, which is worthy of strategic investment;

The investment amount shall be reasonably determined according to the valuation, profitability, growth potential and other factors of the e-commerce enterprise;

Investment methods should be based on the e-commerce enterprise's equity structure, management will, market environment and other factors for flexible choice;

The investment agreement should clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, risk sharing, exit mechanism and other provisions, and set up corresponding safeguard measures;

In the later stage of investment, we should strengthen the cooperation in supervision and management, strategic guidance and resource support of the e-commerce enterprise.

Through the professional services of Shangpu Consulting, the US investment fund finally reached an investment agreement with the e-commerce enterprise and successfully completed the transaction. The transaction not only brings rich returns to the US investment fund, but also brings new development opportunities for the e-commerce enterprise. Champ Consulting has also won the trust and praise of its customers because of its efficient, professional and responsible due diligence services.

五、财务审计方面的风险和难点

财务审计是尽调过程中最核心也最敏感的环节，它涉及到对目标企业的财务状况、财务管理、财务报表等进行审查和评估，以评估其盈利能力、偿债能力、现金流量等。然而，在实际操作中，咨询公司往往会遇到以下几种风险和难点：

财务数据不透明或不可比：有些目标企业可能由于缺乏透明度或一致性，导致其提供的财务数据不透明或不可比，如财务报表不按照国际会计准则编制、财务数据不按照统一货币折算、财务数据不按照同一期间核算等，从而给尽调团队带来分析和评估的困难。

财务管理不规范或不完善：有些目标企业可能由于缺乏规范或完善，导致其财务管理不规范或不完善，如财务制度不健全、财务人员不专业、财务流程不清晰等，从而给尽调团队带来审查和评估的障碍。

财务风险高发或难控：有些目标企业可能由于面临多重压力或承担多重责任，导致其财务风险高发或难控，如负债过高、现金流紧张、税收纠纷等，从而给尽调团队带来评估和规避的压力。

In response to these risks and difficulties, the consulting firm needs to adopt the following strategies and measures:

转换并调整相关数据标准：在进行财务审计时，咨询公司需要转换并调整相关数据标准，如将财务报表按照国际会计准则重新编制、将财务数据按照统一货币重新折算、将财务数据按照同一期间重新核算等，并根据这些数据标准对目标企业提供的财务数据进行分析和评估。这样可以保证财务审计的透明性和可比性，也可以避免因为不同数据标准而出现误差和偏差。

审查并完善相关管理制度：在进行财务审计时，咨询公司需要审查并完善相关管理制度，如检查目标企业的财务制度是否健全、财务人员是否专业、财务流程是否清晰等，并根据这些管理制度对目标企业的财务管理进行审查和评估。这样可以保证财务审计的规范性和完善性，也可以避免因为不良管理而出现问题和风险。

识别并规避相关风险因素：在进行财务审计时，咨询公司需要识别并规避相关风险因素，如分析目标企业的负债状况、现金流状况、税收状况等，并根据这些风险因素对目标企业的财务风险进行识别和规避。这样可以保证财务审计的全面性和有效性，也可以避免因为高发风险而出现损失和责任。

以下是一个尚普咨询公司服务客户的具体案例，说明其在财务审计方面应对风险和难点的方法和措施：

尚普咨询公司受一家法国化妆品制造商的委托，为其进行一项对一家巴西化妆品经销商的尽调。该化妆品经销商是一家小型企业，主要从事法国化妆品的进口、分销和服务，拥有多个渠道和客户。法国化妆品制造商打算对该化妆品经销商进行收购，以获取其在巴西市场的渠道和客户。

尚普咨询公司在进行财务审计时，转换并调整了相关数据标准，并审查并完善了相关管理制度。其中，数据标准方面，尚普咨询公司采取了以下措施：

将该化妆品经销商提供的财务报表按照国际会计准则重新编制，以便与法国化妆品制造商的财务报表进行比较和分析；

将该化妆品经销商提供的财务数据按照统一货币重新折算，以便与法国化妆品制造商的财务数据进行比较和分析；

负债状况：尚普咨询公司分析了该化妆品经销商的负债状况，发现其负债总额较高，主要由于其进口化妆品的成本较高，导致其资金周转困难，需要借贷或透支；

现金流状况：尚普咨询公司分析了该化妆品经销商的现金流状况，发现其现金流入较低，主要由于其分销化妆品的收益较低，导致其回款速度慢，需要赊销或折扣；

税收状况：尚普咨询公司分析了该化妆品经销商的税收状况，发现其税收负担较重，主要由于其进口化妆品的税率较高，导致其缴纳关税、增值税等税费。

针对这些情况，尚普咨询公司在出具尽调报告时，对该化妆品经销商的财务风险进行了识别和规避，并向法国化妆品制造商提出了以下建议和意见：

该化妆品经销商是一家具有一定价值和潜力的目标企业，但也存在一些问题和风险，需要进行谨慎的收购；
