    Market Abuse

    Market abuse is behaviour which affects a financial market adversely and which can unreasonably disadvantage investors in that market, directly or indirectly. There is a very wide range of abusive behaviour which, broadly, can be divided into insider dealing, misuse of information, and market manipulation. This module examines market abuse, its offences, scope, penalties, international perspective, reporting obligations and the relationship with other offences.
