Significant risks identified during due diligence must be appropriately reflected in the sale and purchase agreement. BDO Malaysia's contract assistance service helps ensure the financial terms of your SPA are clearly defined, aligned with due diligence findings, and support the transaction objectives.

Who Needs Contract Assistance?

Contract assistance is relevant any time a business acquisition or divestiture involves a formal sale and purchase agreement. This includes first-time buyers navigating unfamiliar SPA mechanics, corporate acquirers managing complex or cross-border deals, and vendors who need their deal structure accurately captured in contract terms.

If your transaction involves completion accounts, price adjustment provisions, or specific warranty and indemnity considerations, engaging a financial advisory team at the SPA stage can provide valuable support in addressing these areas.

What Our SPA Contract Assistance Covers

BDO's team works alongside your legal counsel from the SPA drafting stage, providing financial and accounting inputs to complement the work of legal counsel. This covers:

Accounting definitions and bases governing the completion accounts process
Price adjustment mechanisms that are commercially sound and operationally clear
Conditions precedent grounded in financial due diligence findings
Warranties and indemnities that accurately capture identified risks
Mechanics and basis of the completion accounts process

The result is an SPA where the financial provisions are clearly defined, commercially appropriate, and supported by financial analysis.
