Ghana’s Finance Sector Gets Boost as PWCS Introduces Vendor Due Diligence Process

As Ghana’s economy continues to grow, the finance sector has become a major player in the country’s development. To ensure that deals are done with confidence and transparency, PwC has introduced a vendor due diligence process aimed at providing an in-depth report on the financial health of companies being sold.

What is Vendor Due Diligence?

Vendor due diligence is a key component of the disposal or sale of a business. It aims to address concerns and issues relevant to even the most demanding purchasers, providing vendors with greater control over the sale process and timing, which can ultimately help secure a higher price for their business.

Benefits of PwC’s Vendor Due Diligence Process

• Provides vendors with greater control over the sale process, reducing disruption to their businesses and helping to secure a higher price for their assets.
• Reduces uncertainty risk for finance buyers, potentially justifying higher offers.
• Enables vendors to identify potential issues early and take corrective action before they impact the sale price.

How PwC’s Vendor Due Diligence Process Works

PwC’s vendor assistance specialists work closely with company management and lead advisers throughout the process, ensuring that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken. This helps to provide potential buyers with greater certainty over the nature of the business and its cash flow, allowing them to make informed decisions.

Why Vendor Due Diligence is Crucial in Ghana

In Ghana, this process has become increasingly important as companies seek to dispose of non-core assets or restructure their operations to focus on core businesses. Vendor due diligence provides a comprehensive review of a company’s financial health, allowing vendors to identify potential issues early and take corrective action before they impact the sale price.
