During the due diligence process, HR compliance isn’t viewed as “admin.” It’s assessed as risk that can impact transaction value or whether it goes ahead at all.  

Join Davy Partners' Founder & Head of HR Kateena Mills, and Hesh Dantanarayana, Investment Director at Advent Partners, as they share insights on what investors look for during assessment and where hidden HR risks can surface.

Who should attend:

Designed for start-ups and scale-ups with future investment or M&A goals. Also relevant if you're an owner or founder preparing your business for sale.

On the day

We’ll unpack the key HR compliance issues that commonly surface during due diligence and how to reduce risk:

  • Potential underpayments (Award misclassification, incorrect penalties or allowances calculations, leave entitlement errors)
  • Superannuation non-compliance
  • Record-keeping weaknesses and gaps in HR documentation
  • Org structure, founder reliance and succession planning

Hesh will also share insights from partnering with businesses across the full investment cycle, including opportunity origination and evaluation.

Even if exit or investment plans feel far off, it’s never too early (or too late) to review compliance and make sure you’re on the right track.

Share your email and we’ll share our wisdom (for free!)

When you fill out the form, you’ll also join our mailing list (no spam, we promise!) where we send HR updates, useful tips and a little insight into how we can help.
