Due diligence

Investigative research to independently establish the background of a potential partner. Matters investigated typically include financial statements, legal status and any key matters that affect the viability of the partner to follow through on a particular transaction. Openness and access to records are not standardized globally, and a result of the ability to conduct such research may be greatly restricted by legal structure of individual economies and company policy.
