What does business valuation for Russian & CIS investors in the UAE cover? It is an independent, IVS-aligned valuation of UAE companies and holding structures owned by Russian and CIS investors, after counterparty screening, using DCF, market multiples and net asset value with IFRS-compliant reporting. It supports holding consolidation, restructuring, sale and financing. Corvian Advisory provides it from Dubai as UAE-based valuation advice for Russian & CIS investors and Russian & CIS-linked transactions, through a CFA-led team with 15+ years of Big 4 experience. Fixed fee from USD 3,000, typically 2–4 weeks.
Independent, IVS-aligned and IFRS-compliant valuation of UAE-based companies and holding structures owned by investors from Russia and the CIS. We onboard compliance-first, then apply the same methodology, evidence standards and senior review as on every other engagement. Reports are signed by CFA, CA and ACCA qualified practitioners.
A CFA Charterholder and Chartered Accountant with Big 4 experience leads each engagement. Our client acceptance process includes counterparty and source-of-funds screening before any valuation work starts.
Seniority matters most on the difficult inputs, such as discount rates, growth and normalisation, and those are where our lead practitioner concentrates. For holding structures we focus on clean documentation: a clear ownership chart, reconciled intercompany balances and a valuation that a bank or buyer can follow without needing the owner in the room.
Most Russian & CIS-linked mandates need more than one valuation. We provide the full range from the UAE, so one CFA-led team can value the target, allocate the purchase price and support reporting afterwards. Every report is IVS-aligned, with IFRS-compliant reporting.

Corvian Advisory provides UAE-based valuation advice to Russian & CIS investors and on Russian & CIS-linked transactions, prepared to IVS with IFRS-compliant reporting. We are not a Russian & CIS-registered valuer. Where a statutory or regulatory valuation specific to Russia and the CIS is required, we work alongside a locally authorised valuer and coordinate our analysis with theirs.
For holding structures we value each entity on its own evidence, then reconcile the total to the group, so consolidation does not hide weak entities.
