Faculty Spotlight: Robert Patzlet’s Advice in Establishing Due Diligence

Published Date: Apr 20, 2023

This quarter, CCUA Education and Development would like to highlight Robert Patzlet, LL.M., K.C., ICD.D., a new facilitator that brings incredible experience to our members, including how to establish due diligence. Here are Robert’s top tips: 

  • Get the information, assess the quality or source. 
  • Spend the necessary time, explore viable alternatives. 
  • Read the information (including experts’ reports), think about them and ask questions if they arise. 
  • Get expert advice – legal or otherwise.  
  • Independent decision making: use independent board committees from management where necessary. 
  • Avoid conflict. Declare your interest and abstain from voting, or even participating, when conflicted. 
  • Document the process.
