An IT audit can help investors & auditors minimise the risks of a company acquisition

"IT must no longer be seen as a mere cost factor, but as an important component that can add value to the company ..."
- Dr. Harald Dreher.

State of the industry

IT as a decisive factor in corporate acquisitions.

Today, IT is a decisive factor in company acquisitions. The question of the technological status of the company to be purchased is of great importance. An IT audit provides information about the current standards and reveals weak points that need to be taken into account during the purchase.

Independent IT experts can advise companies and auditors on the purchase or valuation of a company and assess the company's IT in an expert report.

IT must no longer be regarded as a mere cost factor, but as an important component with which added value can be created for the company.

An independent expert carries out an IT audit prior to a company acquisition

Requirements

The right IT strategy is crucial for the success of any company ...

IT makes a company more efficient and effective and can provide a competitive advantage.

When purchasing a company, this should not be underestimated. IT capabilities and performance can be crucial for a merger deal. It is therefore important to scrutinise an IT strategy, assess its future viability and test its degree of implementation.

An IT audit can provide valuable information in this regard, offering insights into the current status of a company's IT and identifying weaknesses that should be taken into account during the purchase.
