Due Diligence project

Hello!

I did 3 M&A DDs in my time as a BA in McKinsey. 300 pages for 7 weeks does not seem as a long doc for me at all :)

The number of BAs depends on the project scope, but normally is 1-2, along with associates, an EM, maybe an AP and the partners. 

The doc you read is normally drafted by the EM, and then populated by the findings of the whole team during the engagement. It´s done relatively soon (by the time 1/2 of the engagement is over) and then there are thounsands of iterations. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi,

7 weeks is too much for a DD. Typical DD is 2-3 weeks. 

Usually, it's EM+2. Depending on the business it will be one or both analysts doing financial modeling. 

Overall DD projects are very structured and will have almost no difference from the doc you are reading
