Internal audit & risk advisory
Legal & Secretarial Due Diligence
A review of a company's legal and compliance records before an investment, acquisition, loan or listing.
Who needs it
Investors and buyers checking a company, lenders before a large loan, and companies preparing for a fund raise or a listing who want to find problems first.
Due diligence answers one question: is this company what it says it is? We go through its records the way a regulator or a court would, and report what could cost the buyer or investor money.
What we cover
- Incorporation, share capital and the chain of share transfers
- Board and shareholder approvals for major decisions
- ROC filings, defaults and additional fees
- FEMA compliance for foreign investment and borrowing
- Charges, guarantees and related-party transactions
- Licences, registrations and pending litigation
A report you can act on
Each finding is graded by risk and paired with a fix: a filing to make, a resolution to pass, or a protection to put in the agreement. The report is written for the people making the decision, not only for lawyers.
Documents to keep ready
- Incorporation documents and charter
- Statutory registers and minutes
- ROC, FEMA and SEBI filings
- Material contracts and licences
- Details of litigation and notices
