Due Diligence in Emerging Economies: Understanding the Critical Issues and Activities in Mitigating Risk for New Business Ventures

Reduce risks associated with new business ventures in emerging economies using market-entry strategies and a systematic due-diligence approach. Understand the importance of planning and documentation, as well as identifying and rating risks, especially when establishing relationships with potential partners. Consider market-related risks, such as company reputation, management, culture, customers, regulations, financials, and operations. A strategic, systematic approach mitigates risks and limits liability for compliance with U.S., international, and local laws and regulations, including the U.S.A. Patriot Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
