Diligence teams usually begin with three comparisons: revenue in the books against revenue in GST returns, cash in the books against bank statements, and shareholding in the cap table against company filings. A mismatch in any one slows the deal and may reduce the price.
We run these three comparisons before the investor does. Where a difference is genuine, such as timing of revenue, we document the reason in a short note and keep the supporting working paper, so the explanation is ready on the day it is asked for.
After closing, investors expect monthly reporting against the plan. If the data room was built once and abandoned, the next round starts with another clean-up. We keep it updated with each month's accounts, filings and board papers.
This also helps the company, because a ready data room can support a bank facility, an acquisition offer or a partner's due diligence without a separate project. Legal opinions, valuation reports and the term sheet itself remain the job of lawyers and valuers.
