Investigation on assets ¡ª¡ª There are two meanings of such an expression. One is property investigation, the narrow sense of investigation on assets. Such investigation is always conducted in business credit investigation cases, the aim of which is to obtain information on a certain subject¡¯s assets and economic strength. Property investigation is a kind of comprehensive investigation into all components of a subject¡¯s assets. The other meaning of investigation on assets is assets tracing for special intention.

Assets tracing ¡ª¡ª It can be divided into two parts by different intentions and the contents: ¡°assets searches and verification¡±, and ¡°searching hidden assets before and after lawsuits¡±. The former one aims at a certain property and its situation and whereabouts for non-litigation purpose. The latter one aims at a certain subject¡¯s assets, which can be executed for the purpose of security before lawsuit or execution after lawsuit. Generally, compared with property investigation, there are always more specific purpose and content of assets tracing. From this point of view, assets tracing is actually the special cases or extension of the investigation on assets.
