Transaction Services: Driving Deal Value

KPMG’s Transaction Services teams assist clients throughout the deal lifecycle, from pre-deal due diligence to post-deal integration. Financial due diligence offerings provide critical insights into a target company’s financial health, uncovering potential risks and opportunities. This includes analyzing earnings quality, net assets, cash flow, and key performance indicators to inform pricing negotiations and mitigate deal risks. Operational due diligence assesses the target’s operational efficiency and identifies areas for improvement. Furthermore, KPMG supports clients with vendor due diligence, providing comprehensive reports to potential buyers during a sale process. Post-deal integration services help organizations seamlessly integrate acquired businesses, capturing synergies and achieving strategic objectives.

Restructuring: Navigating Distress and Transformation

When organizations face financial distress or need to undergo significant operational transformation, KPMG’s Restructuring professionals offer strategic advice and hands-on support. Services include financial restructuring, operational restructuring, and insolvency support. KPMG helps clients develop turnaround plans, negotiate with creditors, and optimize capital structures. They also assist with cost reduction initiatives, process improvements, and organizational restructuring to improve performance and achieve long-term sustainability. In cases of insolvency, KPMG acts as administrators or liquidators, managing the process in a compliant and efficient manner.

Forensics: Uncovering Fraud and Misconduct

KPMG’s Forensic professionals investigate allegations of fraud, corruption, and other forms of financial misconduct. Leveraging advanced data analytics and investigative techniques, they uncover evidence, quantify losses, and provide expert testimony. Services include fraud risk assessments, forensic accounting investigations, dispute advisory, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. KPMG helps clients strengthen their internal controls and implement robust compliance programs to prevent future misconduct. They also assist in recovering assets and pursuing legal action against perpetrators.

They employ a range of valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow analysis, market multiples, and asset-based approaches, to determine fair value. Valuations are crucial for accurately reflecting the value of assets on balance sheets, complying with accounting standards, and supporting strategic decision-making.
