The Department of International Relations has the pleasure to invite you to the expert lecture in English within the course 2IB468 Ethics in Finance, which will be held on April 27 at 9:15 in the classroom SB 302. Alena Eichová, an inspector at the Czech National Bank (CNB) who is in charge of financial markets, was so kind and accepted the invitation and will present her vision of enforcement in the Czech Republic and how the CNB can contribute to more ethics in finance.

Alena Eichová has extensive experience in financial markets – she has worked for the Czech National Bank for over 14 years. In addition to the CNB, she has worked for Europe Offering, a company dealing with capital markets.

The course 2IB468 Ethics in Finance aims to raise students’ awareness about possible ethical challenges firms, managers and employees face when thinking about financial laws and enforcement. The scope of unethical behaviors covers market abuses such as price manipulation, insider trading, and communication of false information (in particular accounting frauds). The ultimate goal of this Ethics in Finance course is to prepare students for what to do when facing ethical dilemmas along their careers. The course is supervised by Laure Sabine Marie de Batz de Trenquelléon, Ph.D., MSc., who specializes in financial economics, specifically market responses to fraud and regulation.
