Financial Due Diligence
CFO Ventures delivers financial due diligence in Dubai, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region with a rigorous, investor-grade approach that protects value and shortens time
to close.
We reconcile revenue and margins to source records, test quality of earnings and normalise EBITDA, then map cash conversion, seasonality and off-balance-sheet exposures. Working capital is calibrated with a defendable peg; debt-like items and one-offs arequantified so price reflects true performance. Our packs align to IFRS and Gulf practice and are formatted for ADGM/DIFC expectations and Saudi CMA review. Tax workstreams cover UAE corporate tax, GCC VAT and Saudi Zakat with clear risk registers and remediation plans. Findings flow directly into SPA mechanics,locked-box or completion accounts, net-debt and working-capital adjustments, earn-outs, R&W and, where suitable, W&I insurance.
Reporting is concise and audit-ready: a red-flag memo for speed, a full report with schedules for depth, and an issues log that assigns owners and deadlines.
Data rooms are structured from day one; vendor due diligence options help sellers reduce surprises. Where relevant we preview IFRS 3 purchase price allocation impacts and note IAS 36 impairment indicators. Site reviews and management interviews are coordinated to minimise disruption, and sensitive KPIs are cross-checked against contracts, cohorts and bank statements. We hand findings to valuation and post-merger integration so risks and synergies translate into a practical 100-day plan.
Our financial due diligence services support buy-side and sell-side processes across Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, giving boards, lenders and investors clarity on risk, quantified
impact and actionable mitigations
