9 Fraud in Asia Where do the largest frauds occur in Asia? A B - Thailand - China Answer: E - Japan C - Malaysia D - Indonesia E - Japan
10 Key Management Concerns When Fraud is Discovered $$$ - impact to bottom line? Is the loss covered by insurance? Can we otherwise recover losses? Who is involved - management, staff? How did it occur & how can we stop further losses? Is there a requirement to report to regulators? How to keep from media because of impact on corporate image? Should a report be made to police?

13 II. Asset Searching by Investigators
14 Types of Asset Searching Proceeds of fraudulent activities Pre litigation assessment of assets Post judgment assessment Financial worth inquires
15 Role of Investigators Identification of actual and potential assets: direct and beneficial ownership Evidence to support civil action/s and attachment of relevant assets Working with legal counsel as necessary to facilitate attachment and collection process Assembly of evidential packages to support potential leveraged discussions To support criminal action, where it is considered necessary
16 Keys to Successful Asset Searching Speed: asset searching needs to be initiated almost as quickly as a fraud investigation commences - everyday that goes by adds to the difficulty of recovery Ring-fence any relevant insurance policies as soon as possible Think as the culprits Develop a chronology of events around key time frames more footprints in the sand are likely before discovery of wrongdoing Local knowledge
17 Basic Methodology Phase 1 Review & Debrief Full debrief and securing of all available identifiers Establishing a base-line profile of the target/s from client knowledge Establishing a base-line of known or suspected assets Identifying potential live sources
18 Basic Methodology Phase 2 Profiling Targets through Research & Public Record Sources Comprehensive profiling of the target/s: initially through desktop investigative research Searching and analysis of public record sources Requires full understanding of range of global research and public record sources throughout the world
19 Basic Methodology Phase 3 In-depth Field Inquiries Using information and intelligence obtained during debriefing and research, commence a series of discreet field inquiries These inquiries are focused on those aspects, individuals or entities most likely to produce information and evidence as to the identification and verification of ownership and potential value of assets Use of link analysis tools to support findings Bank and securities accounts
20
21 Basic Methodology Phase 4 Recovery of Assets During this process, we will agree with the client as to the most effective recovery strategies and will support the client and their legal advisors in executing the agreed process In appropriate circumstances, FTI may suggest proactive dialogue with debtors to encourage early settlement leveraged negotiations
22 Some Recent Asia Case Examples Successful identification in the PRC and Hong Kong of concealed assets, primarily property/real estate estimated to be worth US$100M, of the chairman (guarantor) of a formerly listed PRC-based metals company Successful identification in India of significant land holdings and property of two promoters of a listed company owing US$40M to a leading Hong Kong bank collateral for the debts being non-existent trade receivables
23 Some Recent Asia Case Examples Successful identification in Australia, PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong (plus other jurisdictions in Asia Pacific) of land, property, investments, etc valued in excess of US$300M of a financial advisor to a mega-rich Middle-East family A successful investigation showing long-term fraud in Taiwan and various parts of the PRC and Hong Kong by a seafood processing and exporting business and its principals (the loan guarantors) in relation to unpaid loans amounting to US$70M to a syndicate of 18 banks
24 III. Asset Tracing by Forensic Accountants
25 Asset Tracing Direct Method Where the books and records are available! Identifies assets through specific financial transactions: Accounting system undisclosed ledgers Trial Balance identifies all account ledgers General Ledger all transactions / narrations Correspondence s, customer / supplier files Accounting vouchers Bank statements unrecorded funds flow Tax returns Forensic imaging s, laptops, servers
26 Asset Tracing Identifies assets through financial analysis and publicly available information: Indirect Method Where there are partial or no books and records! Financial ratios listed entities Searches Internet, Factiva, Bloomberg, Company Registers, Property Title, Court records Net worth analysis Source & application of funds Reconstruction of accounts Credit agencies
27 IV. Case Study Moulin Global Eyecare Holdings Limited

40 Storage of Documents - Hong Kong style Concealed by a cloak cupboard that swung outwards to reveal a hidden door The hidden door, once opened, revealed a room stacked with various accounting information and books and records.
41 Results What we realised:- Promissory note US$3 million negotiated settlement with US debtor US$2 million Sale of retail optical shops (Shanghai) Factory in the PRC (Zhongshan) Sale of retail outlets in USA know as Eyecare Centers of America Moulin acquired in 2005 shortly prior to collapse Golf and country club memberships Asian distribution business Debtors from subsidiaries Chairman & CEO bankrupt Litigation auditors & directors
42 Results Criminal Prosecutions
43 Jurisdictional issues Issues where receivables are the major asset, especially if owed by PRC entities: Local creditors have a commercial priority e.g. jump in and freeze assets. No effective recovery legislation i.e. recoveries work on first in first serve basis. Any recoveries would be used to satisfy preferential creditors first statutory debts and employee entitlements. Workers and local authorities may cause significant issues. Offshore investors/creditors often receive little as local creditors strip assets before they can be secured / realised Arbitration awards can be enforced by Chinese Courts however no transparency Chops and legal representatives - control business
44 Jurisdictional issues Hong Kong Ordinance (Cap 32): Companies Ordinance: S221 Examination of directors and officers of the company 1. any officer of the company or person known or suspected to have in his possession any property of the company or supposed to be indebted to the company, or 2. any person whom the court deems capable of giving information concerning the promotion, formation, trade, dealings, affairs, or property of the company. S211 Power to recover company s books and records.. to the liquidator any money, property, or books and papers in his hands to which the company is prima facie entitled.
