How to organize internal protection of top managers of companies

Then you need to study the actual circumstances and possible consequences of the event that caused the risks of the top manager. It is necessary to compare the amount of responsibility with the severity of the misconduct of a top manager, find circumstances that minimize his participation (guilt) and build a defense strategy. In some cases, compensation is more appropriate than loss of business or criminal punishment with deprivation of the right to hold senior positions. In each case, the company’s top manager’s protection strategy will be individual.
