Assisting with Due Diligence

I am being asked to head up the HR portion of a due diligence process in a possible acquistion. While I have the checklist of requested materials and have been given some guidance on my role in this process, I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this and if so, could you give me any advice on how to prepare/perform well?
Thanks!

Interview rank and file employees and ensure confidentiality of the meetings. Follow up by interviewing line supervisors.
Check with an attorney and see if there is any public record of the company being sued.
Get the company to produce records as to any insurance payouts for employment related claims.
Check training records.
Check HR incident files.
Be curious about any form of resistance to letting you look around.
