Telecom Investment Assessment and Valuation

• Background
  A global telecommunications firm was considering a transaction across multiple Asian countries. The client was concerned about a range of probity issues and the target company’s commitment to data privacy.
• Action
  Veracity consulted human sources across the region to assess the provenance of licenses; labor, supply chain, and land-use practices; views of government and civil society stakeholders toward the deal; and the target’s IP practices.
• Results
  Veracity uncovered credible corruption allegations and material shortcomings in the target’s handling of customer information that led the client to adjust the valuation of the proposed transaction.
