Due Diligence

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the due diligence process in detail with an emphasis on the legal due diligence process. An ethics component is included in the legal due diligence process as the presence of ethical issues may make further consideration a moot point. The legal due diligence process is examined in reference to a specific company: Visionscape. It is determined that Visionscape would be a strong investment based on the character of a projected legal due diligence effort.

From the Paper:

"Most research does not address the ethical component of the legal due diligence process until the very last and usually as an after-thought. However, determining the ethical nature of a potential investment is probably the single-most important aspect of the legal due diligence process: "Eventually, many of a company's ethics abuses would come to light. Faulty or unsafe products would be discovered, and lawsuits could arise"(Harrison, 1999, para.5). If it's found that an investment target is unethical, there are likely issues in the other components of the due diligence process and the company would not be a good investment target. "
