Officials of commercial organizations play a key role in economic activity and corporate governance. When such officials misuse their official powers, exceed authority, or commit other office-related crimes, the law provides for various types of legal liability. This thesis examines the main types of liability—criminal, administrative, civil, and disciplinary—applicable to officials of commercial organizations for official crimes. Special attention is paid to criminal liability for abuse of office, corruption-related offenses, and the differentiation between personal liability of officials and liability of the corporation as a legal entity. The study highlights comparative legal approaches and emphasizes the importance of clear legal standards to ensure accountability while protecting lawful business activity.
