The Inside Track and Too Much Information
This interactive and practical training focuses on best practices to prevent insider trading and protect non-public information. Through memorable and customized exercises and mantras, the course comprehensively covers key insider information terms and risk areas, answering such questions as:
Who is an insider?
What is insider trading? (And, when is it illegal?)
What is material non-public information and how do we protect it?
What should be escalated internally, when and to whom?
By assessing a number of customized, engaging scenarios, participants quickly come to appreciate when and how employees are deemed to be “aware” of inside information or how employees become a constructive/imputed insider or tipper, and therefore may be at risk for “misappropriating” information. Subtle inadvertent actions that implicate insider trading laws are emphasized and stressed throughout the course. Fiduciary and other duties and responsibilities to the organization are also highlighted as well as the importance of reporting issues internally. For those of authority, the program dynamically reviews U.S. insider trading laws, regulations and court decisions that impact investment and other activities.
