Specialist Services for a Complex Environment
PNG's business and regulatory landscape has always demanded local knowledge. Now, with the pressures of FATF grey listing, tightening correspondent banking relationships, and increasing scrutiny of cross-border transactions, it demands a specialist with the experience, independence and legislative depth to guide you through what lies ahead.
MASH Advisory Limited offers three core service areas, each delivered with Big Four professional rigour, and without the Big Four price tag. Whether you are a regulator, a financial institution or a PNG-based business with exposure to overseas suppliers, customers or investors, MASHAL brings you expertise where it counts most.

Rigorous investigation. Independent findings. Actionable outcomes.
When something doesn't add up, suspecting so isn't enough. You need evidence, expertly gathered, clearly documented and legally defensible.
MASHAL provides targeted forensic accounting and financial investigations for regulators, banks, financial institutions and businesses operating in PNG. Our work covers a wide range of forensic engagements, including:
- Suspicious transaction analysis and structured remittance investigations
- Financial crime detection and documentation
- AML/CTF compliance reviews and gap investigations
- Fraud identification and evidence gathering
- Cross-border transaction forensics
- Whistleblower support and internal investigation facilitation
We have direct, hands-on experience conducting forensic investigations for major financial institutions, and have identified billions of kina in irregular transactions that have led to civil and criminal proceedings.
We work with complete independence and impartiality. Our findings are never shaped by institutional or commercial pressures.
Due Diligence Services
Know what you're dealing with before you commit.
In PNG, due diligence is no box-ticking exercise. It is a business-critical necessity. Whether you are a financial institution assessing a borrower, an investor evaluating a counterparty or a business considering a new supplier or partner, the stakes of getting it wrong have never been higher.
MASHAL provides thorough, independent due diligence across a range of commercial contexts, including:
- Counterparty and customer due diligence (CDD / KYC)
- Enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk relationships
- Pre-transaction commercial and financial appraisal
- Business partner and supplier verification
- Cross-border transaction risk assessment
- Acquisition and investment due diligence
- Regulatory compliance verification
Our due diligence is practical, proportionate and built on familiarity with PNG's commercial landscape, its banking and financial services legislation, and the international standards that govern cross-border transactions.
