Company due diligence report template
Use this report when a colleague needs to understand the company, the evidence reviewed and the decision that follows. It separates the legal-entity match, ownership connections, financial information and unresolved questions so a partially complete record cannot be mistaken for a completed review.
Complete the evidence register before writing the conclusion. Every material finding should refer to a record the next reviewer can inspect. If a source is unavailable, describe the gap and assign the next step instead of filling the report with an unsupported inference.
| Report section | What to record |
|---|---|
| Scope and entity | Business question, legal name, jurisdiction and identifier |
| Evidence register | Source references and available filing, effective and retrieval dates |
| Findings | Observed values, comparisons and supporting evidence IDs |
| Open questions | Missing data, conflicting sources and required follow-up |
| Decision | Responsible reviewer, rationale and next action |
| Delivery and history | Approved changes and confirmation of any downstream update |
Format: Markdown (.md), an editable plain-text document. Open an illustrative completed ownership review to compare the structure with a worked example.
Supplier company-record checklist
Use this worksheet during supplier onboarding or a periodic vendor review. It covers contracting-entity identity, company status, directors, ownership and financial filings. The open-questions table makes it clear who owns additional evidence requests.
A completed checklist means the listed steps have been addressed. It does not mean every field was available or that the supplier automatically meets your wider procurement requirements. Record the result of each check alongside the evidence.

Company monitoring pilot worksheet
Agree the purpose and acceptance criteria before starting a pilot. This worksheet covers representative company selection, field scope, successful baselines, review owners and measures such as match rate, usable field coverage and preparation time.
Include exceptions deliberately. A pilot that avoids difficult company matches or incomplete records cannot tell you how much operational follow-up a wider rollout will need.

How to use the templates with your team
- Download the file and save a working copy in your organisation’s approved document system.
- Replace the blank fields with the company identifiers and review scope.
- Attach source references before drafting findings.
- Mark unanswered questions and assign follow-up owners.
- Record the decision separately from delivery or implementation.
- Retain a dated version so the review can be reconstructed later.
The downloads are blank templates and contain no customer records. They do not upload data or submit a lead form. Use your own information-handling rules when completing and sharing them.
Questions about review templates
Can we edit the templates?
Yes. They are editable plain-text Markdown files. Adapt the fields and review steps to your team’s policy and workflow.
Are these full due diligence assessments?
No. They organise the company-record portion of a review. Add the other checks and approvals required by your organisation.
Is there a completed example?
The Company Change Explorer links to illustrative review packs. These show how findings and supporting records can be presented, using invented example companies.
