		Due diligence is the process by which confidential legal and financial information is exchanged, reviewed and appraised by the parties to a merger or substantial asset transfer.
		The essence of the due diligence process is an effort to make everyone on the negotiations committee, and by extension everyone on each board, as aware as a prudent board member can be of any liabilities the other party may bring to the transaction.
		If the committee decides to undertake the due diligence process itself, a good way to proceed is by organizing the due diligence meetings into Financial, Legal, Regulatory and Personnel sections, and then inviting relevant outside experts (such as each organization's accountant) to provide information at the appropriate point.
