A corporate scandal refers to an event or series of events that involve wrongdoing or unethical behavior by a corporation or its executives, which typically leads to significant public controversy, legal repercussions, and damage to the company’s reputation. These scandals can involve a variety of issues, such as fraud, corruption, accounting irregularities, insider trading, and violations of regulatory practices. The exposure of such scandals often results in investigations by regulatory bodies, lawsuits, or criminal charges against individuals or the corporation itself.
