In perfect markets, companies should not be concerned about idiosyncratic bankruptcy risk as portfolios are diversified at the shareholder level. Realizing the project in a separate entity via project finance can preserve the existing business from contamination and thereby reduce financing cost for the core firm.

Throughout the past several years, major corporate scandals have affected the economy and hurt major investor companies. Scandals usually involve complicated methods for misusing funds, exaggerating revenues, and understating expenses and liabilities. There are many early warning signs of fraud, but they are usually ignored.

There are so many types of fraud out there, like Medicare fraud, mortgage fraud, loan fraud, tax fraud, and many more. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has three main parts to what they do

The case firmly established that upon incorporation, a new and separate artificial entity comes into existence. At law, a corporation is a distinct person with its own personality separate from and independent of the persons who formed it, who invest money in it, and who direct and manage its operations. It follows that the rights and duties of a corporation are not the rights and duties of its directors or members who are, most of the time, obscured by a corporate veil surrounding the company.5.2 P.

Since Algeria has a large percentage of the population at a young age (under 35), youth unemployment has a major impact on overall unemployment.
Unemployment causes poverty, and, as previously was mentioned, poverty affects many people - 30% of population (tradingconomics, 2018). This means that they do not have enough finance for basic life needs such as food, health care, housing, and also education.

Corporate Debauchery
Gordon snickered as he stared into the spotless mirror of opinion, observing what was happening behind him. His colleagues were wreaking havoc in the lavish corporate bathroom of his prestigious investment firm, Herbert Dean Capital.
Here, the bathrooms played a vital role in the function of the company. Sauvé, sophisticated bankers would walk in, tired from the day’s work, and emerge minutes later, fiercely pounding their chests, with a fine, snowy powder sitting elegantly below their nostrils.
Gordon was devout on separating himself from this debauchery; but it seemed as if sobriety was strictly prohibited inside the walls of Herbert Dean.
