Operational Risk: A Guide to Real Life Due Diligence

Private equity deals depend on levels of disclosure and due diligence as substantial as those involved with merger and acquisitions activity. Over the past five years, the need to assess operational risk—how a company conducts its core business—has increased dramatically. Properly executed operational risk assessments can set the stage for more advantageous deal terms and better litigation risk management while removing subjectivity from the valuation process. This session will review:

Financial controls and the systems that enforce them—how spreadsheet sprawl can kill a company
Paper chase—the changing face of records retention, business continuity and document management
Beyond financials—measuring the health of revenue streams and appropriateness of expense allocations
Sales/practice management—what tools like CRM systems can tell you about how a company makes
(or loses) the sale
