Legal and institutional security of the financial system against money laundering
Kubík, Tomáš ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee)
The main objective of this work 'Legal and institutional security of the financial system against money laundering' is to highlight the growing phenomenon of money laundering. It is a phenomenon causing collision of the global economic and financial system, which should not remain unnoticed. This phenomenon must be tackled by all, by legal means. To combat this effect was greatest, then it is necessary that there was a globally recognized legislation that would have embraced most states that there were institutions with qualified personnel with sufficient powers, primarily banking institutions, but not limited to those utmost efforts in the fight against money laundering. If the above conditions are not met, then it will hardly be able to face this phenomenon.

The regulation of money laundering and tax evasion in the theory and legislation
Kyselá, Eva ; Sejkora, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
Title of the thesis: The relation of money laundering and tax evasion in theory and legislation Abstract The thesis deals with the relation of money laundering and tax evasion, predominantly in the international context, because both of these activities are very often organized intentionally in several countries. This makes it difficult to detect and punish them and requires close cooperation between states, both in setting the rules and in enforcing them. It is the international soft-law and hard-law rules that significantly affect national regulation. Therefore, the thesis focuses on those and also on regional instruments within the EU. After describing the development of the two areas' regulation and its gradual intertwining, the thesis discusses the similarities and differences that feature the two areas and identifies the problems and challenges the international community is facing when tackling the two problems - reactive regulation lagging behind, slow implementation and complicated international cooperation, difficulty in measuring the problems (and the associated potential inefficiency in spending resources to fight them) as well as the challenges posed by the flourishing information technology. Possible solutions are proposed in the form of adjusting some aspects of soft law as well as...

System for Anti-Money Laundering Risks Management
Uhrín, Peter ; Kreslíková, Jitka (referee) ; Bartík, Vladimír (advisor)
The aim of this work is to create a module for anti-money laundering risk management. The module should allow downloading and subsequent processing of a financial sanction database issued by the European commission in cooperation with the European Banking Federation and further manage its own blacklist. This module should be subsequently integrated into the existing information system of the company Platební instituce Roger, a.s. This module will allow easier screening of subjects against the financial sanction database, at the same time will provide the tools to create its own screening criteria and, last but not least, it will also allow inspection of the exposition of individual subjects. The resulting module will be implemented in Python programming language, using SQLAlchemy library for working with the database and Web2py framework for integrating the AML module into the company information system.
