Lucie is one of the leading figures in Czech compliance. Throughout her professional career, she has been involved in designing and implementing compliance programmes across telecommunications, banking, and retail sectors – not only in the Czech Republic, but also in the United Kingdom and across Central Europe. Her international corporate experience has shaped her understanding of compliance as a strategic management tool that protects organizational values and strengthens corporate culture.
Today, her work focuses primarily on academia and consulting. She teaches compliance, business ethics and risk management at the Prague University of Economics and Business and is actively engaged in research and publishing. Between 2021 and 2024, she chaired the University’s Ethics Committee. Within executive education at the Faculty of International Relations, she leads the Professional Diploma in Corporate Compliance (PDCC), a programme that integrates current regulatory developments, international standards and real-life corporate experience.
Lucie strongly advocates the view that compliance is not merely a system of rules, but a question of integrity, responsibility and everyday decision-making. She is known for bridging theory and practice and for making complex regulatory topics accessible and relevant to business leaders. As a consultant, she supports organizations in designing and developing compliance programmes that genuinely contribute to trust, sustainability and sound governance.
She is actively involved in strengthening the broader compliance community, regularly publishes on the topic and fosters dialogue between academia and practice through educational and professional initiatives.
Last couple of weeks I was fortunate to attend a Corporate Compliance training at Prague University of Economics and Business. The sessions were led by extremely knowledgeable Lucie Andreisová, and I can confirm that thanks to Lucie´s expertise, I gained a deeper understanding of key areas such as compliance culture, anti-bribery, whisteblowing procedures, fraud prevention strategies etc. This experience has strengthened my ability to recognize and address compliance risks, support ethical decision making and contribute to a culture of integrity within my company, which kindly provided me an access to this training.
Thank you for the brilliant organisation of the course, which is highly needed in our professional sphere. I really enjoyed the course and the participants, as well as preparation of the final paper in academic style, it seems that I have missed it these years.
I would evaluate the course as highly demanded, very well organised and very useful. Also it is great that we could communicate together with participants and share our experiences, it is always great as a proof of evidence. Its a pity that the course had only four weeks, two of which I have been absent, but my colleagues have shared with me the contents of the third class and I have strongly participated in a final paper, so I got my share.
I had a wonderful opportunity to be a part of a group attending post-graduate executive course “Professional Diploma in Corporate Compliance” at Prague University of Economics and Business – a valuable experience that deepened my understanding of risk management, regulatory frameworks, and ethical leadership in today’s complex business environment. My sincere thank you to Lucie Andreisová for leading this course, moderating the discussion and sharing useful insights, and to fellow students for this shared experience. Looking forward to applying these insights in practice and continuing to grow in this ever-evolving field!
Thank you again! It was really nice meeting you and all the participants of the course, and our guest at the end of the course! Wishing you all the best for the next session!
The organization was excellent, and every lecture gave me something valuable to take away. Even when a topic was not entirely new to me, it was presented from a fresh angle and offered a new perspective on how it could be applied in practice. That, to me, is the mark of a truly outstanding learning experience.
There are several ideas that will stay with me for a long time:
These insights resonated deeply with me and will undoubtedly influence both my professional and personal approach going forward.
The course was very interesting, because I have option to meet profesionals from other fields. It was clear that the lecturers have extensive practical experience and want to pass it on to other colleagues in the field. I also appreciate that we received tips on interesting books and films.
The way how Lucie presents and discusses the topic amazed me. It was pleasure to listen to her. Seminars were very interactive and everyone was focused thanks to her.
We offer a wide range of specialized courses focused on the development of professional skills and knowledge.
