Due diligence periods continue to lengthen. What’s behind the trend — and how does it relate to deal success?
In 2013, SS&C Intralinks conducted a study with Bayes Business School leveraging proprietary deal data from our platform to better understand the link between due diligence characteristics and M&A outcomes. The Dynamics of Due Diligence, the first of four follow-up reports, uses the same methodology to provide an unprecedented look at:
- The evolution of the due diligence process over the past decade
- Why diligence periods are lengthening at an increasing rate
- The link between diligence length and M&A success
