A business's Health, Safety, and Environmental compliance aspects are often overlooked or assigned a small part of due diligence during a merger or acquisition.
It is essential to keep in mind that any Health, Safety or Environmental issues should be identified and addressed prior to acquisition. Failure to address such issues could result in your organisation being liable for any negative outcomes in the immediate aftermath of the acquisition or merger.
Carrying out due diligence checks for Health, Safety and Environmental issues is crucial, as this type of information is usually not included in financial reporting. A due diligence audit can identify potential operational risks and the suitability of premises or land for their intended purpose.
