近年来，很多投资者有意投资缅甸。2011 年以来，缅甸采取了政治自由化政策，西方国家 因而取消了对缅甸的大多数制裁，缅甸也于 2012 年颁布了《外商投资法》，使得来自中国及 其他国家的投资获得强劲增长。外国投资者通常投资于大规模自然资源项目（如石油、天然 气和铜矿等）、基础设施项目（如电信和水电等）和水泥、旅馆、制造业及消费品等其他产 业。
为了达到进入当地市场的目的，投资者通常会考虑与当地企业建立合作关系或收购当地现存 企业。这就需要对潜在合作伙伴或目标企业进行初步的尽职调查，发现其是否存在问题，是 否存在投资谈判中必须解决的风险等。
最基本的尽职调查一般要对目标公司或合作伙伴以往和未决的诉讼、债权人是否处于破产程 序、土地登记和重要资产的是否存在担保物权等情况进行调查 —— 但在缅甸，这些调查都 不能轻易而又可靠地实现。主要原因是缅甸官僚化的行政机关和法院通常可靠性不高，也不 够正规，其档案记录等工作也是如此，这些都妨碍了最基本的尽职调查。
