Description
This funding opportunity supports events that focus on the functioning of the financial market and the promotion of ethical awareness within the financial sector. Eligible topics include the securities market, banking, insurance, accounting, and auditing. The aim is to foster knowledge about how financial markets operate, highlight systemic weaknesses, promote ethics and good business practices, and support public education and information initiatives. Funding is provided by the Finance Market Fund and is intended to have a "triggering effect," meaning the event cannot have started or been completed before the application is processed. All supported events must clearly acknowledge the Finance Market Fund.
