Healthcare Due Diligence

 

RCA® offers numerous mergers and acquisitions consulting services to ensure the value of your prospective business procurement. Our Mergers and Acquisitions / Due Diligence services for the Pharmaceutical industry include:

 

  • Regulatory Due Diligence: Regulatory due diligence involves completing an in-depth assessment of a business’ regulatory compliance. We’ll dive into the history of the company in question to search for any FDA compliance concerns and evaluate current regulatory practices that might put a financial strain on your business.
  • Quality: Quality due diligence is an in depth assessment of the quality management system. We will use this information to help you understand if the company has and is following their standard operating procedures and processes.
  • Facility / Equipment Assessment: One vital yet often-overlooked aspect of due diligence is an assessment of the company’s facilities, equipment and business procedures. We’ll help you evaluate whether a pharmaceutical company’s facility and machinery are safe, reliable and compliant.
  • Personnel Assessment: Likewise, we can help you assess the leadership skills of the business’ management personnel as well as the personnel within each department. Whether you are evaluating if managers are communicating effectively or whether your have the right number of resources or skill sets, you’ll gain insights that will help you make critical judgments once your acquisition is complete.
  • Post-Merger Integration and Compliance Strategy: The merger or acquisition process doesn’t stop immediately after making a deal. Its success or failure largely depends on how effectively you can integrate afterward. We’ll help you share and manage data, increase collaboration across teams and learn new skills for making your deal a success.
  • Risk Identification and Mitigation Planning: Before, during and after you make a deal, we’ll help you identify all risks and make any adjustments necessary in the integration process. You’ll be better able to mitigate these risks before they significantly impact your bottom line.
