DUE DILIGENCE: meaning and examples
Good morning.
Today we will finish our series of Vitamins related to the word
DUE with a business expression. Our readers who are accountants or lawyers may be familiar with the concept or the expression.
Today's word is:
due diligence
It refers to: the process of investigating the details of a potential investment or business partnership, such as an examination of a company's operations and management and the verification of material facts or possible risks.
Example 1
Adequate
due diligence on new and existing customers is essential when considering potential investments.
Example 2
Most successful investors carry out
due diligence on a monthly basis in order to reduce the risk factor of their investments.
Example 3
Before you buy that company you'd better do your
due diligence; I'm not convinced that it's a good investment.
We will do more accounting and business expressions in future Daily Vitamins.
