Due Diligence for the Financial Professional by L. Burke Files

An entertaining and hands on guide to the Due Diligence Process!

Due Diligence is a well written guide to the investigative thought process and not another book of mindless check lists. Due Diligence is the process of doing one’s homework on an opportunity or a person to ensure the decision maker has the information needed to make a reasonably informed choice. Due Diligence is about knowing how to ask the right questions, get truthful and complete answers and be cognizant of the knowledge filters and manipulators that can be barriers to making informed decisions.

The book’s audience includes Investors, Investment Bankers, CFO’s, Treasury Professionals and the Lawyers and Accountants that work with them, Law Enforcement, Gate Keepers and Compliance Professionals.
