Course Summary

This program features the documentary film Collared which premiered at Hot Docs for Continuing Professional Education to a sold-out audience in September 2018.

Learn from the story and revealing testimony of an ex-insider trader who is still struggling with the tragic consequences of what was the most prolonged insider trading scheme ever discovered by American and Canadian securities investigators. The intimate insights shared by reformed white-collar criminal Grmovsek complement the discussions with leading scholars and experts, and come together in this original professional education program that serves as a painful reminder of the gravity of the crime, and the importance of prevention and detection. The documentary is followed by a post-screening discussion panel about insider trading prevention and risk mitigation measures for professionals.

This engaging edutainment program will benefit all CPA and investment professionals who want to understand how ethical decision-making impacts business and personal lives, and how the line between ethical and unethical decision making can be complex, confusing and blurred over time.
