Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the costs generated by the commission of corrupt
crimes which impact has been reflected in the ratification of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, approved by the UN General Assembly, which
proposes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at the fulfilment of
Economic, Social Rights and Cultural, violated by transnational economic
crime. The objective of this paper is to analyse that economic and financial
crimes committed within public and private sectors, by human and legal
persons, generate costs for States, organizations and society, to the detriment
of Human Rights and Sustainable Development. This context has affected the
credibility and trust in institutions, undermining economic activity, social,
governmental and business performance. In this context, the analysis will
be focused on the role of the Accountant, who has the knowledge to detect,
mitigate and reduce those costs. In order to achieve the proposed objective,
this research addresses professional practice in conjunction with regulations
and academic postulates.
