Sell-Side M&A Diligence
Let LCS help accelerate your deal and maximize your valuation.
A sell-side Quality of Earnings (QoE) report is a detailed analysis of a company's financial statements to help prepare for a sale or initial public offering. While the cost of a QoE report can vary depending on the size and complexity of the company and the level of detail required, it is a valuable investment often yielding a positive return.
Benefits include:
-
Early identification of potential accounting "red flags" or necessary restatements which may materially impact the valuation or closing terms.
-
Addressing accounting deficiencies before going to market, which can ultimately lead to a higher valuation and a smoother transaction process.
-
Adding credibility to the financial information and which increases potential buyers' confidence in the company.
-
Preparing sellers for the buyer's QoE process.
-
Gathering and organizing necessary financial information and supporting data for the buy-side QoE.
-
Aligning the seller's expectations with financial reality.
