Unifying the due diligence industry
The IDDO was founded to unify the due diligence industry through an ever-evolving set of processes, standards, resources, and industry experts — helping individuals and institutions make the best possible, well-informed decisions in any situation.
Fines, lost profits, and even criminal liability can follow a failure of proper due diligence. The question isn’t why you need the IDDO — it’s whether you can afford not to be in the know.
Learn more about usWhat is due diligence?
Due diligence is the process of making the best possible, well-informed decision in any situation — a situational investigation that applies a standard of care to build a comprehensive picture and empower better decision-making.
Traditionally, due diligence has been treated as a noun: reasonable steps taken to satisfy a legal requirement, especially in buying or selling something. We believe there’s a better way. Due diligence is not a thing you have — it’s a process you do. It provides a structured, systematic program for planning, identifying, prioritizing, collecting, and analyzing the relevant data, so your decisions rest on evidence instead of assumption.

Doesn’t everyone already do due diligence?
Most methodologies are limited in scope — over-encompassing the wrong things while missing the key facts. Audits and box-checking are commonly mistaken for due diligence, but little could be further from the truth. The IDDO exists to evolve the practice beyond static, dated concepts.
