Money laundering, corruption, terrorist financing, tax crimes, and other financial crimes can threaten the strategic, political and economic interests of both developed and developing countries. They deprive governments of revenues needed for sustainable development and some cases such abuse may go so far as to undermine the democratic basis of government itself.
They may be different types of crimes but they all thrive in a climate of secrecy and lax regulation and/or enforcement. Countering these activities therefore requires greater transparency and improved efforts to harness the capacity of different government agencies to work together to deter, detect and prosecute these crimes through a whole of government approach.
