Sisäpiiripaljastuksia

Sisäpiiripaljastuksia refers to the act of disclosing non-public information about a publicly traded company to a third party. This information is typically confidential and, if it were widely known, could significantly impact the company's stock price. Such disclosures are strictly regulated in most financial markets to ensure fair trading practices and prevent insider trading.

The concept of "sisäpiiri" (insider) generally includes individuals with privileged access to sensitive company information, such as executives, directors, major shareholders, and employees who have access to such data through their roles. When these individuals or others with access to their information pass it on to outsiders who then use it for trading purposes, it constitutes an illegal insider trading scheme.

The purpose of regulations against insider trading and related disclosures is to maintain market integrity. If individuals could profit from non-public information, it would create an uneven playing field for ordinary investors, erode confidence in the stock market, and discourage investment. Penalties for engaging in sisäpiiripaljastuksia can be severe, including substantial fines and imprisonment.

Financial authorities actively monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns that might indicate insider dealing. Companies are also obligated to have internal policies and controls in place to prevent the leakage of sensitive information and to educate their employees about the legal ramifications of insider trading.
