Managing Director Marc Sherman participated in a Financier Worldwide roundtable panel discussion on the evolution of risk management as a result of poor transaction execution, particularly in large, transformational deals.
Mr. Sherman states, "Generally, acquirers do a good job in risk-related diligence. However, risks are increasing in transactions as we are seeing a growing number of failures occur that a deeper risk analysis could have possibly averted. Another contemporary problem is that there is a lot of competition chasing deals, which puts pressure on time available for, and extent of, diligence in risk-related areas."
