KPMG Law Scoping Tool

In legal due diligence, potential corporate buyers examine a target company in order to determine the legal risks associated with the potential transaction. To do this, lawyers and specialized employees from the relevant departments have to sift through large volumes of documents.

In order to make this often resource-intensive process more efficient, we have developed the KPMG Law Scoping Tool. It enables prospective buyers to quickly define their individual selection of key audit areas and their depth of review. In addition, the tool also automatically creates associated documents, in particular a document request list precisely aligned with the selected key audit areas and a report template already equipped with general legal explanations on the selected key audit areas. The lawyers create the due diligence report on the basis of this template using further predefined and regularly updated text modules that are stored in an intelligent database.

This allows them to focus better on the individual characteristics of the respective legal due diligence, making it faster, more efficient and more meaningful.
