Transaction Risk Management

Studies continue to confirm most acquisitions do not return their cost of capital. Yet, a majority of CEO’s believe transactions are a key component in implementing strategy. Is this an unavoidable disconnect?


The answer is “no,” assuming transaction risk is managed properly. Successful transactions require meticulous attention to detail and a laser like focus. However, when demands to compress transaction process times surface, the result is often a compromise in the levels of detail and a distorted focus. This path almost always leads to impaired execution.

Since many transactions lack their desired effect, execution requires careful strategic analysis and intense management of the transaction process. Managing the multiple phases of a transaction (identifying hot issues, understanding accounting and tax implications, negotiating, closing, integrating and communicating value proposition) is best done when all the key processes are identified and the proper resources are in place to handle multiple intricacies.

At Sirius Solutions we take a comprehensive view of transactions to help you minimize transaction risk. Our Transaction Advisory Services provide a full range of transaction support. Whether you are contemplating an acquisition, capital investment, divestiture or spin-off, our experienced transaction professionals can partner with you across a range of transaction activities including:

  • Buy-side due diligence assistance (industry/commercial, financial, tax, human capital and information technology)
  • Post merger integration assistance (stock and asset PMO support)
  • Sell-side assistance (due diligence, transaction readiness, data room support and preparation, spin-offs/asset sales assistance)

We also provide assistance across many of the other phases of the deal cycle continuum: transaction strategy, deal assessment and development, and negotiations.

Our approach to transactions is simple: lead with our industry experience focusing on the deal drivers and issues that matter most. Our approach is flexible – we can deliver solutions across all phases of the deal, parts of the deal or in multi-party partnerships to meet specific deal needs.
