Typical data challenges include:
- Data capabilities, often driven by under-investment in data integration across the enterprise.
- Systems and controls, the most cited reason why the right level of data granularity cannot be provided and is often driven by a proliferation of IT applications in the Finance technology stack.
When clients prepare with data readiness activities such as data cleansing and integration, they can promote exit valuations by:
- Leveraging data to craft an equity story supported by KPIs and granular data.
- Enabling detailed tracking of value creation initiatives (including their impact on EBITDA), including identifying quick wins achievable in the 12 months prior to exit.
- Reducing the work required in the deal process, with less scope for surprises during the diligence phase and bidder challenges.
