This course is for business, finance, compliance, and other professionals without a legal background who need to recognize securities fraud and insider trading risks. You will examine how securities fraud laws apply to public and private companies, what investors must prove in a fraud claim, and how class actions and SEC enforcement address alleged misconduct. You will then explore when trading on confidential information becomes unlawful, including the duties of corporate insiders, the misuse of information from other sources, and liability for sharing tips. You will also learn how insider reporting, recovery of short-swing profits, Regulation FD, and corporate trading policies support compliance. Throughout, case examples—including insider trading issues in prediction markets—show how legal rules address the use and disclosure of information in financial markets.
