Instructions

2. Based on the focus areas, outline a due diligence checklist tailored to the company and industry.
3. Identify common red flags in financial records (e.g., revenue inconsistencies, unusual liabilities) and legal documentation (e.g., missing clauses, non-compete issues).
4. For stakeholder background checks, list the types of records to verify (e.g., litigation history, sanctions lists) and suggest how to interpret findings.
5. Review relevant industry regulations and highlight compliance gaps the company may have.
