A focused review
Assess the project or business case, development status, commercial arrangements and financial model within an agreed scope. Specialist technical, environmental, legal and tax work is undertaken by appropriately appointed advisers.
A clear decision record
Bring findings together around material risks, information gaps and potential actions. Distinguish verified facts from management assumptions and matters still to be resolved.
Deliverables
A consolidated diligence report or issues register, a record of outstanding information and priorities for the next decision.
Early-stage red flag review
A focused red flag review identifies issues that may materially affect a project or transaction before a wider diligence programme is commissioned. We prioritise findings, explain their potential implications and identify the evidence or specialist work needed next. The report distinguishes matters reviewed, information unavailable and issues outside the agreed scope.
Due diligence: common questions
Answers from Global Infrastructure Advisors. Meet our team and explore our published infrastructure experience.
What is the purpose of infrastructure due diligence?
Due diligence tests the information and assumptions supporting a proposed investment or transaction. Our advisory work helps identify commercial and financial issues, assess their implications and set out the further information or actions required before the client makes its decision.
How does GIA coordinate with technical and legal advisers?
We agree the scope and interfaces at the start, so findings from different workstreams can be considered together. Commercial and financial analysis draws on the relevant specialist inputs, while the appointed technical, legal and other advisers remain responsible for their respective assessments.
What should an infrastructure due diligence report enable a client to decide?
The report should identify the material risks, evidence gaps and actions affecting the proposed investment or transaction. GIA consolidates findings around their commercial and financial implications so the client can assess whether to proceed, change terms or commission further work.
How does a red flag review differ from full due diligence?
A red flag review concentrates on issues that could materially affect an early decision. Full due diligence examines an agreed, wider scope in more depth. GIA makes the reviewed areas, unavailable information and exclusions explicit so a focused review is not mistaken for comprehensive assurance.
Can due diligence findings affect the transaction price or conditions?
Yes. Findings may change financial assumptions, require further investigation or support revised commercial terms and conditions. GIA helps quantify the implications where possible and coordinates the issues with the client's legal and specialist advisers.
