Corporate officers’ breach of fiduciary duties such as insider trading, fraudulent accounting and breach of trust are treated differently in various jurisdictions. In the USA , in response to the scandals such as Enron, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has marked the increased use of criminal penalties to enforce fiduciary duties, which is a shift away from the traditional use of civil remedies in corporate law. However, in other countries, there is a call to resort less to criminal penalties and to extend the application of civil remedies. There is no universally right approach; each jurisdiction should take its own situation into consideration.
