About

Bellemont is a specialist risk advisory firm.

We provide enhanced due diligence, fraud investigations, and regulatory advisory to law firms, private equity houses, and multinational corporations operating across Southeast Asia.

“We go beyond surface-level screening.”

Services

What we do

Due Diligence & Corporate Intelligence

Enhanced due diligence, background investigations, and corporate intelligence on individuals, entities, and ownership structures across Southeast Asia. We go beyond surface-level screening to verify what is true, identify what is concealed, and map what is connected.

Fraud & Misconduct Investigations

Internal and external investigations into procurement fraud, financial misconduct, and corporate malfeasance. We conduct external forensic investigations, evidence gathering, and internal reviews to evidential standards capable of supporting disciplinary action and legal proceedings.

Regulatory Compliance Advisory

Compliance risk assessments for firms with exposure to complex regulatory environments. We review policies, procedures and control frameworks, identify gaps against applicable requirements and best practice, and deliver prioritised recommendations for remediation.
