We cover: revenue recognition policies; sustainability of revenue streams; related-party transactions and their pricing; owner compensation running through the P&L; and accounting policy consistency across the review period.

    Vendor Due Diligence

    For sellers preparing for a sale process. A credible vendor due diligence report reduces information asymmetry, accelerates the acquiror's diligence timeline, and reduces the probability of late-stage price chips driven by due diligence findings. We prepare vendor DD reports that give prospective acquirors confidence and give sellers control over the narrative.

    Benefits of Vendor Due Diligence

    Reduce information asymmetry before buyer review.
    Accelerate the acquiror's due diligence timeline.
    Minimise late-stage price negotiations and deal surprises.
    Present a credible, independent report that builds buyer confidence.
    In Practice

    Reported EBITDA of AED 14.2M. Our Quality of Earnings analysis identified AED 3.6M of adjustments, including one-off insurance recoveries incorrectly treated as recurring revenue and below-market related-party property rent. After normalising earnings, EBITDA reduced to AED 10.6M, providing the buyer with a stronger basis for negotiations and supporting a revised offer price that was 18% below the seller's initial asking price.

    Reduction in the final offer price after identifying AED 3.6M of Quality of Earnings adjustments and recalculating sustainable EBITDA.
