In a significant move to strengthen its global advisory services, Berkeley Research Group (BRG), a leader in Forensic Accounting, Computer Forensics, Fact-Finding, Fraud Investigation, Valuation, Risk Management, and Case Management support, has announced the opening of its new office in Bangkok, Thailand. This strategic expansion aims to enhance BRG’s service offerings in Thailand and the broader Southeast Asian region, responding to the growing demand for expert forensic and investigative services.

The Bangkok office will be under the leadership of Managing Director Vorapong Sutanont, a seasoned professional with over 24 years of experience in senior management roles within global risk management consulting firms across the United States and the ASEAN region. Vorapong’s extensive background in complex fraud investigations and high-risk management, coupled with his tenure as Chief Risk Officer for major Thai enterprises, positions him as a formidable leader for BRG’s operations in Thailand.

Joining Vorapong is a team of distinguished specialists, including Arisra Panuvatvanich, who brings over 18 years of expertise in Forensic Accounting and Valuation, and Joel Woodward, a seasoned professional in international litigation-related valuation and damages assessment. The team is further bolstered by professionals with a wealth of experience in Forensic Accounting and Computer Forensics, ensuring a comprehensive suite of services for clients in the region.

Mustafa Hadi, Managing Director of BRG’s Asia Pacific region, emphasized the firm’s commitment to maintaining its leadership in investigations, forensic accounting, case management, and risk management across the region. The establishment of the Bangkok office is a testament to BRG’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of its clients with precision and integrity.

Vorapong Sutanont, reflecting on the new office’s potential impact, stressed the importance of elevating ethical standards and combating fraud within organizations throughout the region. With a deep understanding of the local landscape and BRG’s global capabilities, he is poised to lead the firm to become a distinguished authority in Thailand and beyond, offering unparalleled support to both public and private entities in their efforts to tackle fraud.

Tri MacDonald, Principal Executive Officer and President of BRG, expressed confidence in the success of the Bangkok office, following the successful launches in Brussels, Belgium, and Paris, France, at the end of the previous year. With plans for further international expansion on the horizon, BRG’s global network, combined with the expertise of the Bangkok team, is well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of clients worldwide in dispute management and investigative services.

The opening of the Bangkok office marks a significant milestone in BRG’s ongoing mission to provide world-class advisory services on a global scale, reinforcing its position as a leader in the industry and a trusted partner for businesses navigating complex challenges.
