Several firms gather information and publish reports on Malaysian companies, including Rating Agency Malaysia, United Management Services, and D&B Information Services (M) Sdn. Bhd. For major corporate transactions, financial advisors and lawyers can perform due diligence. Publicly listed companies are required to publish audited financial results which can be checked prior to entering into business agreements. In smaller transactions, letters of credit are a standard requirement of potential customers, while bank references and track records can be checked prior to appointing agents.  The U.S. Commercial Service can also assist exporters by providing an International Company Profile report which can include a visit to the office, an updated financial report, and if appropriate, a recommendation by a current supplier or customer. Please contact your local U.S. Export Assistance Center for pricing and details (US Export Assistance Center Offices).
