Financial Due Diligence Skill

Produces a structured financial due diligence framework — document request list and analytical questions — for any investment, acquisition, or significant commercial relationship.

Required Inputs

  • Transaction type (acquisition / investment / partnership / supplier / fundraise)
  • Stage of diligence (initial screening / full DD / confirmatory)
  • Target company type (startup / SME / listed / subsidiary)
  • Key concerns (optional — e.g. revenue recognition, customer concentration)

Output Structure

1. Document Request List

Financial Statements

  • Audited accounts for last 3 years
  • Management accounts for current year (monthly)
  • Board-approved budget and latest reforecast
  • 3-year financial model with assumptions

Revenue

  • Revenue by customer (top 20, % of total)
  • Revenue by product/segment
  • Contracted vs recurring vs one-off breakdown
  • Churn and renewal data

Costs

2. Key Analytical Questions

Revenue quality: Is revenue growing organically? What % is truly recurring? Customer concentration risk?

Margin analysis: Gross margin trend over 3 years? One-off items inflating EBITDA? Normalised EBITDA?

Cash conversion: Does profit convert to cash? Cash conversion cycle? Working capital red flags?

Debt and liabilities: Net debt position? Contingent liabilities? Covenant headroom?

  • Declining gross margins without explanation
  • EBITDA-to-cash conversion below 70%
  • Auditor qualifications or emphasis of matter
  • Related party transactions not at arm length
  • Aggressive revenue recognition
  • Growing debtor days with no explanation
