The landscape of companies of interest to private equity (PE) funds has changed significantly in recent years. Investors are now more open to considering smaller-scale transactions (target companies with production values below EUR 25 million).

Financial statements and their informational content have grown in importance for those entering the world of PE, as they ensure financial data is presented clearly and transparently, with a high level of detail, accuracy, and reliability.
