Philippines Asset Tracing Investigations
Assets are anything owned by a business or an individual like shares of stock, vehicles, real estate, bank deposits, intellectual property rights, machinery, other company assets, cash, etc. Anything that is, or can be converted into cash is considered as an asset.
Why Asset Tracing is important
Asset tracing is a comprehensive analysis of either an individual or a business to establish the credibility and full content of assets included in a legal transaction.
Often, fraudulent deals or transaction happen in business where actual finances or physical property are concealed at the time of transaction. Other than this, assets may get stolen from a company by a high-ranking employee or a business partner.
With the help of Philippines fraud investigative specialists like those at OSI, any asset that has not been transparently shared with the purchaser during a deal, or stolen, can be uncovered using legitimate means. Even if something is covered or hidden overseas by businesses or people, it can be uncovered.
Asset tracing is needed when settling financial disagreements, litigation or handling questionable business deals. It is also very important for mergers and acquisitions and must be done before such transactions. Because it reveals hidden liabilities of a potential partner.
If you are in a business that wants to expand, or and individual intending to take up a high-ranking position, due diligence investigations give you a complete picture of a company. Depending on the results, you can then justify taking up the deal or rejecting it, negotiating it to improve your position. You also ensure that all claims made by the other party are validated and can take an informed decision.
