In this immersive course, learners follow a fictitious character, Claire, as she struggles to decide if it’s legal to buy shares in her company. Throughout the course, Claire receives advice from family and friends, and learners will be tested on their understanding of Insider Trading and what constitutes as legal or illegal. Inside information can be used to gain an unfair advantage in the trade of shares and other securities, which is a criminal act.
The course covers what constitutes as insider trading, the penalties for insider trading which include dismissal, fines, confiscation of assets (as the proceeds of crime) prison sentences, as well as damage to career and prospects, and organisational reputation.
The course also emphasises on the importance of seeking advice from a manager or a legal team before using or disclosing any non-public information.
Learners are quizzed on their understanding throughout the course. Learners can monitor their performance on the legal health bar with the challenge of maintaining 100% health. To successfully complete the course, learners must pass the assessment challenge by answering 80% of the questions correctly and maintaining performance of the legal health bar. Learners can also take the assessment again to improve their score.

Included Features
Insider trading is the buying or selling of a public company’s shares by individuals with access to non-public information about the company. It can be legal or illegal depending on the information the buyer is privy to, who they tell, and when they buy or sell the company shares.
Anyone who buys or sells shares based on information they receive could be at risk of Insider Trading if they don’t understand the law.
Insider trading is illegal through the practice of trading on the stock exchange to one’s own advantage through having access to confidential information. Insider trading is also illegal if an employee is found guilty of ‘tipping’ people with confidential information that they can then use to make a profit from i.e. if an employee supplies someone with the information needed to carry out insider trading.
The laws around insider trading come from the Criminal Justice Act 1993 and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. There are a few differences between them, but both need to be taken into account when considering the illegality of insider training. It is sanctioned by civil law under the control of the Financial Services Authority, the FSA. The FSA is a non-governmental organisation which regulates and monitors market abuse.
Illegal insider trading can result in serious prison sentences as well as hefty fines. If found guilty of insider training, an employee can be sentenced to up to seven years in prison along with a fine. The FSA can also issue a public statement exposing the individual engaged in insider trading, causing a negative impact on their reputation.
