M&A Due Diligence Training Course
The M&A Due Diligence Training Course is a two day programme that teaches a modern, focused approach to running an M&A due diligence process. Participants are given a solid grounding in the techniques used by some of the world’s most successful companies to assess risks, evaluate synergies and confirm the strategic fit of an M&A target. The course is designed specifically for executives involved in corporate M&A.
Guided by our expert tutors you move from the assessment of risks and benefits in the initial valuation, through setting up and running an M&A due diligence team and on to investigating risk, confirming synergies and planning for post-merger integration. You will also learn how and when to revisit the initial offer price, and how to design protective deal and payment structures that mitigate M&A risk.
Participants learn the central role of due diligence in the M&A process and the key issues likely to arise in each business function. You will learn an effective approach to identifying risks and opportunities and how to focus resources on the most critical aspects of an M&A transaction. The risks inherent in cross-border M&A transactions are fully explored.
The course is designed for established executives in the flow of their careers with a strong emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical. Each section of the course provides tools, templates and techniques that can taken back to your company and immediately applied to M&A due diligence projects.
Our tutors have hands-on experience delivering large and smaller scale M&A projects inside multinational corporations. This means the course is rich with real-world illustrations and case studies taken from their own M&A due diligence experience.
This course is independently accredited by the Continuing Professional Development Association to provide hours or points that can be applied to the CPD requirements of professional bodies.
Level: Intermediate to advanced level
CPD: 14 CPD hours
