“Ethics in finance: complementary or conflicting terms? In this highly interactive course, you will dig into the most notorious financial crimes to try and better understand what can possibly drive anyone of us into cheating investors and possibly ruining one’s career.

The course aims at raising your awareness and scrutiny to possible ethical challenges firms, managers and employees face when thinking about financial laws and enforcement. The ultimate goal is to prepare yourselves for what to do when facing ethical dilemmas.”
