AUDITING /
SURVEYS AND EXPERT REPORTS
The growing significance of IT and information systems for all areas of business is being accompanied by a parallel increase in the complexity of management and project tasks for IT planning, management and control in the company:
- Technical and process-related integration within a company and over and beyond company and system frontiers is simply exploding
- There is a constant increase in the complexity of project structures, given the growing number of parties involved, relevant products and standards, and contractual implications
- Provider and product markets are getting increasingly obscure – resulting among others from ever-shorter (IT) product lifecycles
- A growing number of laws and regulations results in compliance constraints, which frequently also include liability elements for the managers involved.
This is the background to the ever-increasing number of situations necessitating a precise diagnosis, i.e. registration, evaluation and expert documentation of circumstances involved in the IT and IT project environment. On the one hand, this refers to problem or even crisis situations, or, on the other hand, situations arising in "normal" everyday business, such as new management staff, describing the situation prevailing at the start of a project, or the regular queries about IT status posed by a supervisory board or works council.
It is INTARGIA's uncompromising independence which makes it predestined to be a neutral observer and auditor in this context. Many years of experience, the expertise of our partners and the alignment to globally accepted rules and regulations help to sum up, analyze and document situations in next-to-no time. This creates the required transparency while at the same time helping to avoid legal disputes and liability-relevant situations for the company management and supervisory bodies, or to gather evidence and shore up legal positions with regard to pending or on-going conflicts.
The services we provide in this environment are subject unconditionally to the quality criteria and professional ethics for certified and chartered experts. Our partner Matthias Uhrig has been working as certified expert and expert witness in court and for out-of-court arbitration and mediation proceedings.
INTARGIA's services in this context include:
- Situation analysis and auditing in the IT and IT project environment
- Investigation into IT-based embezzlement
- Preservation of evidence and presentation of expert reports for use in court
- Out-of-court arbitration and mediation
- Support during court cases and arbitration proceedings
IT DUE DILIGENCE
A company or parts of a company are about to merge or be hived off. In this context, IT and on-going IT-projects
- have great strategic relevance for the future prospects of the transaction
- constitute a major item of expenditure
- have a sustainable influence on the chance/risk portfolio of the transaction
- have a corresponding impact on defining the transaction itself and the purchase price.
In this situation, IT Due Diligence by INTARGIA creates clarity and hard facts. For further details and information about our range of services, please refer to our brochure "The impact of IT and IT projects on M&A transactions", or contact us directly.
