Description
Matters involving fraud, forgery, fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty are relatively common in Malaysia. Some examples include:
- Diversion of funds from a company (public or private), society or partnership;
- Diversion of business to the wrongdoer’s own nominee;
- Diversion of stocks and parts;
- Sale of real property to the wrongdoer’s own nominee at an undervalue;
- Purchase of assets from a third party at a premium with a kickback to the wrongdoer as arranger;
- Signing contracts with a third party at a premium with a kickback to the wrongdoer as arranger; and
- Use of false consultancy agreements, management agreements and distributorship agreements.
These acts may usually be committed by an officer of the said company, society or partnership, with the assistance of other individuals within the same entity and / or external professionals. These may include valuers, solicitors, liquidators, receivers, accountants, auditors, managers, consultants and other industry experts. Such misconducts occur across a variety of industries such as construction, marine, oil and gas, information technology, manufacturing and plantation.
The seminar will cover the fraud, forgery, fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty matters across various industries; and the evidence-gathering process involved.
