Financial Due Diligence Services in Dubai
Understand the financial evidence behind a proposed acquisition, investment or business sale.
What this service covers
Financial due diligence examines information relevant to a specific transaction. BWMC reviews historical performance, cash conversion, working capital, debt and other agreed financial matters so you can evaluate the opportunity with clearer information. The scope is tailored to the buyer’s or seller’s objectives and the available records.
Due diligence is different from a statutory audit or a valuation. It does not guarantee a successful investment or identify every possible risk. Legal, technical, environmental and other specialist reviews should be commissioned separately when relevant.

Frequently asked questions
When should due diligence begin?
It is usually considered before making a binding commitment to a business purchase or investment. The timing should fit the transaction process, confidentiality arrangements and access to records.
Is due diligence the same as a business valuation?
No. Due diligence examines transaction risks and the quality of information. Valuation estimates value for an agreed purpose and date. The findings can inform valuation assumptions and negotiations.
What is quality of earnings?
It considers how reported earnings relate to ongoing business performance, including unusual items, accounting policies and the conversion of profit into cash. Adjustments require evidence and judgement.
Do you provide legal due diligence?
Legal questions such as ownership, enforceability, disputes and licences should be reviewed by appropriately qualified legal advisers. We can identify financial questions that need specialist input within the agreed coordination scope.
What if the seller’s records are incomplete?
The report should explain missing evidence and limitations. A lack of reliable information can materially affect the transaction decision; it should not be replaced by unsupported assumptions.
