Transaction Feasibility Audit helps transaction management utilizing the expertise of our financial consulting and business advisory team specialized in financial, accounting and financial analysis approaches at transaction processes. We provide our services either as a consultant or as a lead consultant in cooperation with another business or legal advisors advisor/advisors.

We cooperate with our clients to assess and analyze proposed transactions, highlighting the value drivers, risks and opportunities in the deal. We remain involved through the whole cycle of the deal. IM&A helps develop appropriate accounting, finance and tax structures as well as advising on post-deal and integration strategies. Sales could be very varied from large to small; simple to complex, but whatever it is IM&A brings commercial knowledge, insight, solid analytical skills and a deep accounting and technical heritage to all transaction feasibility audits.

Transaction Feasibility Audit is generally required in the following cases:

1. When concrete sale or call options arise
2. When we have a definite transaction partner on hand

Transaction process should reflect the available strategic alternatives with an emphasis on business or synergy value maximization. Our teams are dedicated to carefully evaluating such alternatives. We have to discover and what possibilities could be for synergies and negative synergies alike, what aspects could be flexibly improved and which ones need to be taken care of not to be lost from the cohesion along the process. It is crucial to choose the adequate circle of transaction partners.

The opportunities for value improvement services are necessary to define also. Changing the parameters can make a potential sale more favorable. Providing more private capital, for instance, can reduce the interest costs on borrowed money. To deal with a lack of market access, a business could increase its trade area.

Organizational Structure and Staffing Analysis is an important aspect of the process. Sustainability requires collaboration, so a starting point of our approach is to identify the organizational factors proving advantageous and disadvantageous, making suggestions for the necessary changes. We shall evaluate the adequacy of current organizational structures to give an extensive view; examine lines of responsibility, reporting, and other communications; estimate human requirements and competencies; and suggest actions to fill gaps - all by carefully and objectively evaluating how the company operates.
