Corporate criminal responsibility is the legal principle that holds corporations accountable for criminal offenses committed by their employees or agents. This includes crimes such as fraud, bribery, money laundering, insider trading, and environmental offenses. It applies to companies of all sizes, including multinational corporations, and is designed to hold companies accountable for criminal acts regardless of whether the company itself was directly involved in the offense. There are two main types of Corporate Criminal Responsibility. The first is Vicarious Liability, which holds a company responsible for the criminal acts of its employees or agents while acting in the course of their employment. The second type is Strict Liability, which holds a company responsible for any criminal acts committed by its employees or agents regardless of their involvement. Both of these types of Corporate Criminal Responsibility are designed to ensure that companies are held accountable for any criminal offenses that their employees or agents commit.
