Finding-to-deal response map

Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated

Every material finding should lead to an explicit decision: accept, clarify, remediate, reprice, restructure or walk away.

Records to reconcile

  • Finding and evidence
  • Economic consequence
  • Available protections and alternatives

Warning signal

Issues remain in reports without ownership or transaction action.

Transaction impact

The diligence cost produces information but not a better decision.

Response

Assign one response, owner, deadline and residual-risk position to every material item.
