business investigation

Compliancia mitigates business risks with a strong knowledge of unfair business practices and criminal activities in Southeast Asia. We know how to support companies and their counsel realistically. Compliancia understands the difficulties and specific mentalities and can easily navigates in sometimes unclear situations.

Our typical assignments are not limited to the below examples

Case 1 “Nominee and proxy detection”


Compliancia investigated a Hong Kong company that was supposed to purchase a company owned by our client. Upon investigation our team discovered incoherencies in the profile of the director and shareholder of the Hong Kong company and determined that this individual was acting as a proxy on behalf of someone else.

Further investigation, by mapping the other corporate vehicles of the individual, demonstrated with a high probability that in fact a competitor of our client was trying to obtain confidential information.

It was decided to feed the competitor with incorrect information before stopping exchanges on a false pretext.

Case 2 “Internal Fraud”


Freelancers working under a collaboration agreement with a Hong Kong company were diverting the company clients to their own structure in Thailand. Compliancia provided sufficient information for the Police to start an investigation in Thailand and to obtain the freezing of the freelancers’ bank accounts.

Compliancia assisted the Police investigation by presenting proofs and additional elements in Thai.

Case 3 “Tentative theft”


A client of Compliancia , Art broker, was approached by scammers for the purchase of a painting valued at more than 5 million. During the due diligence process our team determined some incoherencies in the proposed Sales and Purchase Agreement and discovered that the law firm which supposedly prepared the document was simply not existing at all!

The scammers used as a purchaser an existing company which would at first glance not attract attention and had then intended to seize the painting during the inspection phase by requesting the painting to be shipped to an accomplice at Port Franc. The proposed deal was obviously stopped.
