During this volatile economic environment, Canada’s lenders are tasked both with understanding the impacts of the pandemic and with making critical decisions about whether the quality of earnings and projected performance of a business support a lending customer’s leverage structure.
To help you make sound, informed decisions through this process, Grant Thornton has developed a suite of solutions aligned to the risk and magnitude of lending decisions.
| Full scope due diligence | Quality of earnings | Condensed lender diligence |
| Designed for high-risk, high-magnitude exposures or complex underlying business situations including: material changes in business operations, acquisitions, carve-outs or divestitures, earnings volatility, etc. | Focused on the quantification of adjusted EBITDA, with supplemental analysis of a business’ financial position and working capital, and identification of key areas of risk and opportunity in assessing financial performance. | Designed for lower risk exposures or time sensitive evaluations that require efficient identification of red flag risks associated with current and projected performance, as well as the current financial position of a business. |
In a dynamic and unpredictable environment, it’s imperative that you understand the impacts COVID-19 has had on your clients’ businesses, including their customers, supply chain, employees and financial position; how management has responded with temporary and permanent changes to the business; the financial impact of these changes on reported earnings; and the bridge from a historical perspective of earnings to future performance.
