Due Diligence

Due Diligence is a critical evaluation conducted before entering into major business transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, or investments. It involves a structured review of financial records, legal contracts, operational practices, compliance exposure, and market positioning to uncover risks and verify claims. Rather than relying on assumptions, due diligence provides a factual foundation for decision-making and negotiation. The Hackett Group® supports this process with deep functional knowledge, digital diagnostics, and benchmarking insights—enabling faster, more accurate assessments. The outcome is greater clarity, reduced risk, and stronger confidence in pursuing strategic opportunities.
