The concept of governance is generally assimilated to this particular variation ("good governance"), which channels the reflections on a few themes (transparency, fight against corruption, etc.). This is a new paradigm for development. Illicit financial flows constitute the existence of a fraud sanctioned by the Latin adage: "Fraus omnia corrumpit (Fraud corrupts all)", a breach of equality between citizens and a factor of insecurity. The reaction of the international community has been to set up an international body [the FATF] to combat the phenomenon of money laundering and terrorist financing, or ML/FT, which has been identified as the root cause of insecurity and bad governance. This is achieved through a high degree of transparency of the identity of users and financial flows (I), and a deterrent to the failure of those subject to the law to apply transparency tools and to the commission by users of a large number of behaviours that undermine the legality of the origin of the money (II). Thus we take up this challenge of good governance.
