Case Studies On Market Misconducts & Its Key Takeaways

 

Over the years, the number of criminal prosecutions has risen in the capital market due to misconduct. In 2016 alone, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has imposed a total of RM1.415 million administrative sanctions for various misconducts and breaches of securities laws.
