About Course
This seminar offers a practical and engaging exploration of market abuse, designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of regulatory expectations without focusing on overly legalistic detail. Instead of focusing on the law’s letter, the course uses real-world examples, notable enforcement cases and insights from ESMA publications to illustrate how market abuse is identified and addressed in practice.
The session covers the basic concepts of market manipulation and insider dealing, the process of reporting suspicious transactions and orders (STORs),and actual regulatory cases involving fines and sanctions. Participants will also examine statistics on enforcement actions and STORs across the EU, and review insights from supervisory reviews that are not typically made public. Finally, the course explores how investment recommendations are shared on social media and the associated risks. It is suitable for all financial sector professionals interested in staying informed on current regulatory practices and trends.
