Integrity / Compliance / Due Diligence

Introduction

Companies operating in Southeast Asia are facing mounting integrity and compliance pressure from two directions: externally, through the growing influence of transnational compliance regimes, due-diligence obligations, sanctions frameworks, and trade-related restrictions; and internally, through an expanding body of domestic legislation, enforcement practices, and institutional oversight.

This convergence of “global compliance” expectations and national regulatory reform is reshaping the operating environment. For organizations operating across Europe and Southeast Asia, integrity, compliance, and due diligence have become central governance issues that directly affect legal exposure, operational continuity, market access, and the personal accountability of senior management and boards.

Our Approach

Within this context, CPG supports organizations across the full spectrum of integrity, compliance, and due-diligence-related work. Our focus lies on identifying regulatory and integrity-related risk exposure, assessing the effectiveness of existing governance and compliance arrangements, and strengthening organizational structures to ensure regulatory resilience and defensible decision-making.

Anchored in our Governance & Compliance Hub, our work combines public-policy expertise, regulatory analysis, and institutional insight with a deep understanding of Southeast Asian legal and enforcement environments. Integrity and compliance are addressed not as isolated legal functions, but as elements of organizational governance, control, and risk oversight.

Delivery within the CPG Ecosystem

All integrity, compliance, and due-diligence activities are embedded in the broader CPG institutional framework. This allows analytical and advisory work to be complemented by executive briefings, capacity-building formats, and executive education programs, ensuring that compliance structures are not only designed and implemented, but also understood, applied, and sustained at leadership level.

Services

Risk & Legal Exposure Assessment

We assess an organization’s exposure to integrity, compliance, and legal risks arising from its activities, operating environment, and business relationships. The assessment covers regulatory and enforcement-related risks, sanctions- and trade-related exposure, and systemic vulnerabilities linked to jurisdictions, sectors, and modes of operation. The objective is to provide decision-makers with a structured, defensible understanding of overall compliance and integrity risk exposure.

Governance & Compliance Reviews

We review existing governance and compliance arrangements to assess how effectively integrity and regulatory risks are currently managed. This includes analysis of internal policies, roles and responsibilities, decision-making and oversight structures, escalation mechanisms, and the practical functioning of compliance-related processes.

Governance & Compliance Design & Optimization

Building on review findings or identified risk exposure, we support organizations in designing, adjusting, and strengthening governance and compliance structures. The focus lies on aligning policies, accountability lines, control mechanisms, and oversight arrangements with the organization’s risk profile, regulatory obligations, and operational reality.

Due Diligence & Integrity Assessments

We conduct integrity and due-diligence assessments for business partners, suppliers, acquisition targets, intermediaries, and strategic counterparties. Reviews focus on ownership and control structures, governance practices, regulatory exposure, sanctions- and enforcement-related risks, and integrity red flags relevant to investment, cooperation, procurement, and market-entry decisions. Depending on the mandate, assessments may be transactional, supplier-based, intermediary-focused, or project-specific.

Regulatory & Enforcement Landscape Analysis

We analyze applicable domestic and transnational compliance regimes, enforcement practices, and supervisory expectations across relevant jurisdictions. This service supports organizations in understanding how evolving global standards interact with local regulatory realities and enforcement risks, particularly across Europe and Southeast Asia.

Integrity, Compliance & Due Diligence Training

We design and deliver targeted training, executive briefings, and capacity-building formats for boards, senior management, and operational teams. Training focuses on decision-relevant compliance understanding, accountability, and practical application of integrity and due-diligence requirements within specific regulatory and regional contexts.
