Anke Lenk

Professor Anke Lenk serves as Professor and holds dual administrative roles as Examination Office Manager and University's Practical Studies Coordinator at the Deutsche Bundesbank University of Applied Sciences. Her teaching encompasses financial accounting (IFRS and banks' financial statements), management accounting, and central bank management across multiple courses including bookkeeping, consolidated financial statements, and financial supervision case studies.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Bank clerk vocational training
• Business Administration studies at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main
• Economics maîtrise (monnaie et finance) at Université Lyon 2
• PhD in Accounting from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main

Research centers on earnings quality with emphasis on earnings management methodologies, International Financial Reporting Standards implementation, empirical analysis of accounting practices, and corporate governance frameworks. Her work frequently compares regulatory environments between Germany and emerging markets, particularly China, examining how institutional contexts influence financial reporting integrity.

Publication trends from 2006-2020 reveal methodological evolution from comparative IFRS/German GAAP studies to specialized Solvency II insurance regulations. Early work established empirical frameworks for detecting earnings management in German and Chinese firms, while later research synthesized literature on earnings quality determinants before culminating in practical applications for insurance sector accounting.
