    The New Currency of Due Diligence

    The Association has unparalleled initiatives fostering innovations in due diligence education, science, training, testing, standards and professional certification. With a history dating back to 1984, The Association brings the qualities of traditional due diligence together with the vibrant, contemporary new diligence.

    Our due diligence association is focused on due diligence as a separate field, discipline and industry. There are numerous professional associations devoted to numerous segments of the business, industry, education, government and non-profit sectors. While modern due diligence and the science of due diligence encompasses all aspects of organizations, the Association does not displace, replace, or compete with, any competent professional association. Rather, the Association continuously seeks to cooperate with the leading associations from all sectors.
