The term due diligence refers to the actions taken to satisfy a legal requirement, especially when buying or selling something or employing someone. An investor will often carry out a due diligence investigation before making a significant investment, such as taking over another company. This quiz tests your knowledge of the language used when conducting a due diligence.
Dear Matt
In the introductory text, why does it say “when conducting a due diligence” rather than “when conducting due diligence”?
Many thanks!

Hi Alison
Thanks very much for the question. In fact, it would be far more usual to write simply ‘…conducting a due diligence’, although a quick corpus search does show that it is also used with the article. Were I to write the introduction again I would leave the article out; as far as possible I try to make sure my materials and teaching reflect the most common current usage.
Best
Matt
