DIRKS TEST
A standard used by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to determine whether someone who receives and acts on insider information (a tippee) is guilty of insider trading. The Dirks Test looks for two criteria
- Whether the individual breached the company's trust
- Whether the individual did so knowingly
Tippees can be found guilty of insider trading if they know or should know that the tipper has committed a breach of fiduciary duty.
