This unit is intended to equip the learner with knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable them to apply and comply with the principles of Corporate Law in relevant circumstances and environments and further to demonstrate knowledge of the law and regulations governing corporate entities and ensure compliance in practice.
The aim of the syllabus is to develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general legal framework, and of specific legal areas relating to business, recognising the need to seek further specialist legal advice where necessary. Corporate Law starts with an introduction to the overall legal system which underpin business transactions generally. The syllabus then covers a range of specific legal areas relating to various aspects of business of most concern to finance professionals. These are the law relating to employment and the law relating to companies. These laws include the formation and constitution of companies, the financing of companies and types of capital, and the day-to-day management, the administration and regulation of companies and legal aspects of insolvency law. The final section links back to all the previous areas. This section deals with corporate fraudulent and criminal behaviour.
