Evidence of Corporate Fraud in Thailand: What to Collect and How

Short answer: Start with documents proving your status and the wrongdoer’s role, then trace the money and the company’s decision records. Thai share registers and company books are presumed correct, but the presumption can be rebutted. If you plan an embezzlement complaint, gather evidence within the three-month complaint window.

1. Status documents

• Latest company affidavit (directors, signing authority)
• Articles of association and any shareholders’ agreement
• Shareholder list and share register

The share register is presumed correct, and a registered shareholder has been treated as an injured person in a false-accounts case. If your name was removed, prepare share certificates, payment records and earlier lists to rebut it.

2. The money trail

• Company bank statements before and after the events
• Payment vouchers, invoices and tax invoices
• Contracts and quotations for suspect transactions
• Details of recipients, including entities linked to directors

Embezzlement requires dishonest conversion, so show the money was not used for company business.

3. Company decisions

• Shareholder and board minutes
• Financial statements and circulated balance sheets
• Meeting notices and proof of delivery

Company books are presumed correct between shareholders and the company, but can be rebutted; compare them with external records such as bank statements.

4. Communications and timeline

• Emails, LINE messages and internal memos
• Your written requests to the company and its replies
• A timeline including the date you first learned of the conduct

See [director embezzlement] for the deadline.

Collect lawfully

Use statutory information rights — see [inspecting company records] — rather than accessing systems or accounts without authority. Keep originals and record where and when each item was obtained.
