Internal Control Reviews

Many organisations have taken steps to identify the risk areas in their business and to implement changes to reduce the risk of fraud.  We carry out a number of internal control and internal audit reviews for a wide range of private and public sector clients each year to help them identify key risk areas and make recommendations to help them reduce or prevent fraud and increase their fraud detection rate.


Sale and purchase of business

For many businesses and business owners there is an inflection point where consideration is given to selling the business.  This can arise when the business owner is planning for retirement or succession, where the sector in which the business operates is being consolidated or where a sale or purchase of a business or business unit is required to take the business to the next level.  

A potential sale of a business can be challenging for an entrepreneur and is often described as a rollercoaster ride of emotion particularly when expectations of the potential buyer evolve throughout the sale process.  
We can support you and your business with the following range of services:

•    Sale of business/information memorandum
•    Management Buy Out/Buy In
•    Due diligence 
•    Structuring/re-structuring
•    Fundraising of debt or equity
•    Business valuation
