The assignments we take on are mainly to audit accounts in a contractual or legal environment.

Legal audits and other legal assignments

The DMP group has been appointed to carry out many auditorship assignments, which are carried out on clients with diverse legal structures and lines of business.

The partners in the DMP group have implemented an approach and working methods which are suitable to the world of SMEs, and which involve a level of quality, rigor and performance which is comparable with the best practice in the sector, which has been acquired working in the largest international auditing and consulting firms.

The partners in the DMP group regularly carry out other legal assignments such as M&A auditing, in the context of internal restructuring or financial engineering procedures.

Contractual audits (investigations, due diligence)

The DMP group has very solid and diverse experience as regards due diligence audit investigations, acquired through it taking part in merger and acquisition procedures, on behalf of purchasers or sellers with “manufacturing” or “financial” profiles.

Our work is generally carried out before the transaction occurs, and in such cases the audit is a main precondition to the transaction taking place. We also carry out audits post-transaction, in order to provide assistance to the purchaser or to the new owner by verifying that the reciprocal contractual undertakings have been met (representations and warranties regarding assets and liabilities, earn-out clauses, etc.).

After having determined the aims and the context of the audit, we define the scope of the assignment, in other words an analysis of the legal arrangements for the transaction, an audit of annual and interim accounts, and an examination of the projected accounts and of the organization’s business plan.

Furthermore, we are able to provide law firms working on the transaction with the drawing up of memoranda of agreement and with defining the extent of legal and financial guarantees (representations and warranties) in relation to the risk assessment study which was carried out.
