Can you explain financial due diligence to me?

When a company aims to acquire another company, this process would be needed in order for the acquirer to closely examine the assets and debts which the target company holds. Otherwise, the acquirer may find any negative matter after the acquisition, which means it's too late. If they execute financial due diligence properly and find out any critical matter which suggests that they shouldn't buy out the target, they may be able to avoid any incoveniences.

1. This is usually used in the uncountable form.
Oh, that sounds complicated for me to understand by this time. What are the things that we should focus on when conducting due diligence?

It depends on the company. I'd say that it sometimes doesn't go well because some target companies hold off-the-book liabilities that can't easily be found even by professional accountants. Later the acquiring company realizes more liabilities than they expected. This process is necessary, so there aren't any bad sides, however, it costs a lot. Therefore, a good balance between how much it costs and how careful an examination is would be important.

1. You need THERE with BE here to refer to the existence of the liabilities.
2a. SIDES refers to two different things but you are making a point about the RESULT here.
2b. You can use a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb to join these sentences together.
That sounds like a task that should be handled very carefully. What are good methods of achieving that balance?

I think we have to be careful with both the good sides and bad sides of the company,which means we have to view the matter objectively. In practice, potential buyer engages an accountant as a professional player who performs the due diligence instead of the buyer and the advisor.

1, 2. SIDE tends to refer to an argument or character. You don't need to repeat it.
3. Space required after a comma.
4. You must use an article (or a word like ‘my’, ‘his’ etc) before a singular countable noun.
So both positive and negative aspects of a company have to be assessed and addressed. Can you please tell me how financial due diligence differs from an audit?

Exactly. When it comes to timing for analysis of company financial, financial due deligence differs from an audit. Audit analize company financial for the fiscal period.

1, 5. FINANCIAL is an adjective but you need the plural noun here.
2, 3. Spelling mistake,
4. Plural required for this general point.
Oh Okay! Thanks for the clarity. I'm very much grateful. Have you ever been involved in financial due diligence processes?

Yes, I've experienced this process before because I was in charge of M&A deals as a financial advisor. In practice, potential buyer engages an accountant as a professional player who performs the due diligence instead of the buyer and the advisor.
