A corporate scandal refers to an event or series of events involving unethical, illegal, or inappropriate behavior by a corporation or its employees that leads to public outrage, legal consequences, or significant financial loss. These scandals can encompass a wide range of issues, including fraud, corruption, accounting malpractices, environmental violations, or significant lapses in regulatory compliance.
