Every acquisition and investment prices in what diligence finds, or pays later for what it missed: unrecorded liabilities, tax exposures, compliance gaps and revenue that does not survive scrutiny. Diligence is where deals are truly negotiated.
Krishna TaxNova conducts financial, tax and compliance due diligence for buyers and investors, and vendor diligence for sellers who want to control the narrative before the other side’s accountants arrive.
What is Due Diligence Services?

Deliverables include a red flag or detailed report, deal adjustments and inputs for representations, warranties and indemnities in the transaction documents.

Due Diligence Services: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between red flag and full scope DD?
A red flag review targets deal breakers quickly at lower cost; full scope builds the complete exposure picture with detailed workpapers. Deal size and stage decide, and we advise which fits.
How long does diligence take for a small company?
A startup or small target typically takes two to three weeks with a responsive data room. Delays almost always trace to missing documents, which our request list process minimises.
What are the most common findings in Indian targets?
GST input credit mismatches, TDS defaults, related party transactions priced casually and ROC filings out of date. All are manageable if found before signing, expensive after.
Should a founder do vendor diligence before raising?
Increasingly yes. Finding and fixing your own issues before investors do protects valuation and timeline, and signals maturity that itself improves terms.
