Management adjustments and customer concentration may require separate documents.
Choose a review area to see the records, questions and gaps that matter. This planning tool does not perform or certify due diligence.
Match the legal entity and accounting perimeter, then review available statements across compatible periods. Keep filing date, period end, currency, units and group scope beside the result.
Which entity and reporting basis support the seller's financial narrative?
Examine reported revenue, profitability, cash generation, working capital and financing. Treat a movement as a question until the records establish its cause and whether it is repeatable.
Which earnings or working-capital movements need management evidence?
Separate reported facts, reproducible calculations and unresolved items. Carry the source context and a prioritised request list into the data room, adviser review or investment-committee process.
What is supported now, what is missing and who should resolve it?
Veripoint supports a first-pass target screen and evidence register. Formal financial due diligence remains transaction-specific and commonly requires authorised management information, specialist analysis and professional judgement.
Use available accounts to establish the entity, reporting perimeter, historical baseline and questions that could affect the deal thesis.
Management accounts, ledgers, customer evidence, forecasts, debt documents and monthly working capital normally require authorised data-room access.
Quality of earnings, normal working capital, net debt and implications for price or the purchase agreement require appropriate advisers and agreed evidence.
Financial due diligence is a transaction workstream, not a single database search. Use Veripoint to establish the available record and prepare the handoff; use authorised company evidence and appropriate advisers to reach deal conclusions.
| Stage | Evidence | Useful output | Coverage boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before data-room accessVeripoint fit | Available filings, entity and ownership context, reporting periods and reported financial trends | An initial hypothesis, evidence register and prioritised request list | Does not validate management representations or current trading |
| During financial due diligence | Management accounts, ledgers, customer data, forecasts, debt documents, tax records and monthly working capital | Tested findings, reconciliations and quantified adjustments | Requires authorised access, transaction-specific scope and appropriate specialists |
| At the deal decision | Accepted or disputed findings, valuation model, completion mechanics and the purchase agreement | Price, structure, protections, integration actions or a decision not to proceed | Cannot be concluded from an AI research summary or public accounts alone |
A concise evidence register is more useful than a long list of unranked observations. Keep enough context for another reviewer to reproduce the point and decide what happens next.
Name the registered company, jurisdiction, registration number and group or individual reporting scope.
Keep the period end, period length, currency and units beside every figure.
Label information as reported, calculated, management-provided or unresolved.
Retain the formula and inputs for margins, growth, working capital and other calculated measures.
State whether a gap affects value, financing, completion mechanics, protection, integration or the decision to proceed.
Record one target and six workstreams. Trace supported findings, turn gaps into specific requests and order the handoff by the decision consequence your team assigns.
Entries stay in this page until you download them or leave. Do not enter confidential documents, personal data or credentials. This tool does not retrieve a data room, verify management evidence, calculate transaction adjustments or recommend whether to proceed.
Complete and confirm the context, then record the workstreams and review the handoff.
0 supported · 0 action-ready gaps · 6 incomplete · 0 decision escalations. No automated deal score is produced.The CSV groups user-assigned proceed / stop consequences first; valuation, completion, financing and protection next; integration after that; and unassigned items last. It does not infer materiality or calculate a risk score. Your deal team remains responsible for scope, evidence, judgement and escalation.
Inspect the prepared report, run the target in company research, then use the exported log in the authorised data room. For monitoring, saved research or team integrations, compare plans or discuss an enterprise workflow. Only the visible company brief transfers to research; evidence references, requests, owners and dates do not.
Inspect a prepared report, then research a representative target and confirm that the evidence, exports and coverage boundaries support your team’s first-pass review.
Use available company records to establish a baseline and triage the issues that could change the deal. The deeper review should test those hypotheses against current, transaction-specific evidence.
| Review area | Evidence available for a first pass | Evidence to request or test next |
|---|---|---|
| Target perimeter | Legal entity, ownership context and consolidated or individual account scope. | The entities, assets, liabilities and carve-outs included in the proposed transaction. |
| Revenue and earnings | Reported revenue, operating profit, period length and notes explaining material changes. | Monthly management accounts, ledgers, customer evidence and support for every proposed earnings adjustment. |
| Cash conversion | Reported operating cash flow and balance-sheet movements where disclosed. | Proof-of-cash, aged receivables, supplier timing, capital expenditure and other drivers of cash conversion. |
| Working capital | Year-end receivables, inventory and payables where disclosed. | Monthly balances, ageing, seasonality and the definitions required for a normal working-capital target. |
| Net debt and obligations | Reported cash, borrowings, leases, provisions and related notes where available. | Recent cash, facility and covenant evidence, guarantees, commitments and agreed debt-like item definitions. |
| Forecasts and deal thesis | Historical trends and the filing-period context available from the records. | Current trading, forecast assumptions, pipeline evidence and sensitivities linked to the investment case. |
A year-end balance is a dated observation, not the cash available at completion or a normal working-capital target. Label every item as reported, calculated or unresolved, and keep the reporting date separate from the retrieval date.
