As the global business landscape continues to change and becomes increasingly complex, regulatory compliance is now more crucial than ever. If you’re looking for investment or funding it is essential to conduct thorough due diligence so your business remains in compliance now and into the future.
Regulatory due diligence is the process of the process of analyzing and monitoring an customer, partner or investor’s background to ensure that they are in compliance with the laws and regulations. It covers a wide range of issues, such as environmental practices, legal compliance and corporate governance, data privacy, and more. It can be used to determine the ability of a target to adapt and grow technologically.
It’s crucial for any M&A deal to ensure that it’s. According to research conducted by MetricStream the failure rate of deals worldwide varies between 70% and 90% with regulatory hurdles, geopolitical uncertainty and ill-advised acquisitions being among the top three reasons. The proper diligence in the regulatory realm can help reduce these risks, thereby increasing likelihood of a successful outcome.
Due diligence for regulatory compliance should be conducted in conjunction with commercial and financial M&A due diligence to minimize risks. Failure to uncover compliance issues could lead to substantial fines, loss of profit and a damaged reputation. It can even lead to an arrest in extreme cases. It is crucial to be proactive with the process, leveraging the power of a system that allows you to conduct regulatory due diligence and other checks across multiple jurisdictions in a seamless way.
