Do you need an audit to buy a company?

The merger and acquisition of state-owned enterprises, whether overseas or domestic, requires asset evaluation. Therefore, company acquisition and audit are necessary. Merger and acquisition of enterprises is an extremely complicated operation process, involving many economic, legal and policy issues, and the operation procedures of merger and acquisition of different enterprises are not the same. Therefore, China's relevant laws and regulations have made relevant provisions on the procedures of enterprise merger and acquisition, so as to standardize the merger and acquisition behavior, reduce the risk of merger and acquisition and improve the efficiency of merger and acquisition.
