Document Integrity Risks in M&A

Due diligence is only as strong as the authenticity of documents reviewed

Manipulated Financial Statements

Financial statements in data rooms may be altered to hide liabilities or inflate revenue. Subtle changes are easy to miss in complex documents.

Tampered Contracts

Deal contracts and agreements may be modified after signing or submitted with unauthorized changes to key terms and conditions.

Forged Compliance Certifications

Fake regulatory certifications, ISO certifications, and compliance documents are submitted to satisfy buyer due diligence requirements.

Fraudulent Audit Reports

Audit reports may be fabricated or modified to overstate financial health or hide material issues discovered during actual audits.
