When Good Buyers Go Bad: Lessons from business collapses in Asia

Real cases. Real warning signs. What we saw before the headlines did.
About this Event

Join Forvis Mazars, Coface and Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) to learn how to spot business risk before it becomes a crisis.

Drawing on real cases from across Asia, this session explores the warning signs that appeared before major business failures and the lessons they hold for organisations today. Combining perspectives from economic forecasting, trade intelligence, risk underwriting and business restructuring, we will examine how risks emerge, how they are detected, and why they are so often missed until it is too late.

Whether you manage customers, suppliers, business partners, or investments, you will gain practical insights to help you spot risk earlier, make better-informed decisions and protect your business from unexpected shocks.

Why attend

• Learn how to identify early warning signs of business distress in customers, suppliers and business partners
• Understand the latest Asia Pacific economic outlook
• Explore how trade intelligence can strengthen business growth decisions
• Hear directly from risk underwriters on how credit decisions are really made
• Take part in panel discussion – evaluate real data and decide whether you would insure, hold or decline
