Case Studies
Our case studies contain analysis and discussion points for users to better understand the legal provisions. They also provide suggestions on how to prevent corruption, fraud and malpractices.
Peter, a bank manager, solicited an advantage from a money launderer from overseas for leaking confidential information and helping the latter to launder his money through accounts in his bank.
Kim, a bank’s senior credit officer, disclosed the proposed acquisition of an overseas investment company to a trader in the bank’s stock broking section. The trader bought a major block of shares for the bank after the “tip-off”.
Aaron, a bank manager, learnt from his client a merger plan that would increase the stock price of a listed company. Aaron bought shares of the listed company and made a profit. He also told his brother about the information.
Alan operated a car rental company and had insured all his cars with Bryan, a manager of a bank's insurance department. Without the bank’s approval, Bryan bought an “old” car from Alan at a low price.
Bryan is interested but unfortunately is short of cash. Alan suggests that Bryan may pay for it by monthly interest-free installments at a special price. Bryan feels uneasy about accepting the offer. However, he changes his mind as he thinks the offer does not create any obligation to Alan.
Donald, a bank manager, would like to buy large block of shares at an IPO for speculation. Lacking funds to do so, Donald approved his wife’s application for a personal loan without disclosing their relationship to his bank.
