Fundamentals of Corporate Law
About this course
In this microcredential, you will explore how corporate law shapes the way businesses operate in Australia. You’ll examine how companies are established, managed, and regulated under Australian law, and gain an understanding of the legal roles of shareholders, directors, and corporate officers.
You’ll also study the legal framework around company financing, including how businesses raise capital and the regulations that govern financial activities. In addition, you’ll explore the principles of agency—where one person acts on behalf of another—which play a critical role in many areas of business operations.
The microcredential also covers how the law applies when companies experience financial distress. You will learn about insolvency, liquidation, and the roles of administrators and receivers, as well as how charges over assets function and their implications for both businesses and creditors.
This microcredential is grounded in Australian corporate law. Please note that laws vary between jurisdictions; students working in or across other regions should refer to the relevant local legislation to ensure compliance.
