Why it matters in due diligence
The net debt and debt-like items schedule is one of the analyses a buyer, lender or investment committee expects in a financial due diligence report. Built by hand, it means recreating the same layout, formulas and checks on every engagement. The ZAF version is formula-driven, so every number traces to an input cell and the checks tell you when something does not tie.
