Due diligence is a quality assurance process designed to manage risk. We design our due diligence process to factor in the commercial realities of deals. This approach recognises that every transaction is different and requires a tailor-made solution. We don't just check the information; we investigate further by looking at the assumptions behind the numbers.

Our services are used by individuals, partnerships and corporations to provide a wide range of valuation services. We provide objective support for our clients that result in tax savings, more effective purchase price negotiations, and enhancing strategic decisions. We can evaluate acquisition targets, joint ventures and carry out independent valuations for shareholders.

Once a lender suspect a customer is in trouble, whether it be because their facilities are overdrawn or consistently drawn to the limit - we can provide assistance to determine whether this is a short or long term problem. We can also identify if there is a more fundamental issue prohibiting the ongoing viability of the customer's business. Our fraud investigation service team specialises in the investigation of fraud, the tracing and recovery of assets around the world, and interviewing and investigating suspects in many jurisdictions. Such work is often performed in conjunction with leading law firms, and is often international.

We provide restructuring and reorganisations services to companies, their institutional lenders and other stakeholders in situations where business and strategic objectives cannot be met within the constraints of a company's existing capital resources and structure. We consider all options available in order to obtain the best outcome for our clients. We bring to our clients a team of experienced industry focused specialists whose rigorous and proven methodologies can solve any problem. Furthermore, companies almost always need assistance in dealing with their banks or other debt and equity.

We provide financial advisory services to our clients on financing options and on how to raise the necessary finance. As healthy companies grow, many eventually outgrow the lending capabilities of their current financing sources. We have an extensive network of financing sources and can help you find the type of financing and lending institution that will grow with your business. Likewise, for many successful owner-managed companies, there will come a time to consider a flotation. We also assist companies undertaking Initial Public Offerings.

Our Monitoring Services are designed to complement the client's internal resources in an efficient and cost-effective way. We provide an independent opinion on: actual trading performance in comparison to financial forecasts, industry benchmarks and best practice; any major changes in customers' operations and their impact on the business; the competitive environment; the effectiveness of current management and organisational structures.

Your strategy for growth will often be achieved non-organically; by making an acquisition, merging with another company, or entering into a joint venture. AA has the expertise and resources to advise and support you through these transactions, whether the target is quoted or privately owned. We bring an independent perspective and a high level of technical expertise.
Because we focus on M&A, we have the information resources, technology and people resources to research, identify and analyze targets. And we will negotiate the best price on very attractive terms.

AA provides services for acquisition strategy, structuring and pricing, due diligence, transition planning and implementation. The worldwide resources and experience of AA will address issues of tax planning, capital needs and financing, financial modeling, regulatory hurdles, pricing/asset valuation, and warranty and contract issues.

Good corporate governance is the system or process adopted to direct and manage the business and affairs of a company. Shareholders of a company, who have elected a board of directors to be responsible for corporate governance and managing the affairs of the business, should ensure the board has effective involvement in strategic policy, risk management and performance assessment. The directors, who are accountable to the shareholders for their actions, should determine the appropriate corporate governance practices applicable to the company, putting in place the necessary procedures to ensure the governance objectives are met.
