About this course
The aim of the syllabus is to develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general
legal framework, and of specific legal areas relating to business, recognising the need to seek
further specialist legal advice where necessary.
Corporate and Business Law is divided into eight areas. The syllabus starts with an introduction
to the overall English legal system such as the court system and sources of law. It then leads
into the area of the law of obligations including contract and tort, which underpin business
transactions generally.
The syllabus then covers a range of specific legal areas relating to various aspects of business
of most concern to finance professionals. These are the law relating to employment and the law
relating to companies. These laws include the formation and constitution of companies, the
financing of companies and types of capital, and the day-to-day management, the
administration and regulation of companies and legal aspects of insolvency law.
The final section links back to all the previous areas. This section deals with corporate
fraudulent and criminal behaviour.
