Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Due diligence typically involves a comprehensive review and analysis of both the financial and non-financial aspects of a potential acquisition, including assessing cultural fit, tax consequences, and financing options. However, the concept of "private synergy" between two firms is not typically included in due diligence activities. Private synergy refers to the potential benefits or opportunities that may arise from combining the expertise, resources, or capabilities of two firms, and is often evaluated during the integration phase after the acquisition has been completed.
