Abstract

The paper is a study of the concept of corruption and money laundry and

to shed light on their causes, growth, forms, negative effects, and methods

of measuring indicators through the Corruption Perceptions Index data

(Corruption in Public Sector) in a group of successful economies.Corruption

Perception Index is high in some countries and low in others.The period

between 2004 and 2013) showed positive correlation between the CPI and

GDP in some countries that the article investigated, but in others there is

a continuation of rising in corrupt practices of illegal entry.It was figured

out that countries must review the actions of preventive laws (Intensity of

Regulation- procedures, Time, Cost- Tax and Social Security Contribution

Burdens) to reduce corruption in the public sector.This has been done in New

Zealand, Switzerland, Denmark and Finland.There is no point in following

the United Nations Convention against Corruption, and no feasibilities for

international treaties in fighting against money laundering since it failed to

achieve the target in the country studied: (Greece, Italy, Russia, and China)

; therefore, decision- makers should take the advantage of the experiences of

countries that have succeeded in dealing with this phenomenon.
