NAVEX’s Insider Trading course provides learners with a strong foundational knowledge of insider trading, including key definitions, as well as information about how to identify risks and prevent even unintentional violations. But it goes beyond just telling learners to avoid it; it also explores how to prevent it before it happens by asking for guidance in critical situations and reporting suspected or actual violations, without fear of retaliation. Organizations committed to doing business ethically and fairly need employees who do the same, especially when it comes to insider trading. Effective training can help organizations keep this commitment.
