Course Details:

Introducing the Market Abuse Regulation and the Share Dealing Code.

It is important to note that you can personally face criminal sanctions for not complying with the Market Abuse Regulation.

The EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) came into effect on 3 July 2016 and, following Brexit, was brought into UK law on 31 December 2020. The UK MAR applies to any share dealings across EU member states, even if they are not listed or traded in the UK.

MAR contains prohibitions of:

Insider dealing
Unlawful disclosure of inside information
Market manipulation
It also sets out the measures we should take to prevent abuse

The regulation applies to all employees whether based in the UK or overseas and it is important that all staff know and understand the procedures to prevent market abuse.

We can be subject to fines or public censure as a result of breaching the disclosure rules and an individual may be subject to criminal sanctions.

Insider dealing is where a person uses inside information to deal in shares or securities (or attempt to deal), to amend or cancel an existing order, or to recommend or induce another to deal based on that information.

Inside information is information:
1 Of a precise nature
2 Which has not been made public
3 Relating, directly or indirectly, to one or more issuers
4 Which, if it were made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on the prices of those shares or securities

“We now have a very happy group of screen reader users! This has also helped our branch training teams, who are all volunteers too. They save time by not having to signpost learners to alternative learning material and can offer volunteering opportunities to a wider audience.”

“We were recommended by a fellow learning and development network member, with InfoAware offering reasonable and competitive pricing and a very helpful, friendly and patient team. Our key requirements for partnering with an external provider were their understanding of how to design truly accessible Articulate Storyline courses, patience and flexibility with timescales as volunteers were offering more of their time to test the outputs, and clearly labelled back-end content so we could easily edit in house.”

“We were able to communicate complex ideas using supporting animations and graphics, in a way that conveyed the key principles simplistically for the learner to understand. As a result, we were able to make visual connections, related to the training material in a clear and concise manner. Moreover, we were able to include interactive case studies to support and develop student’s understanding.”
