In final observations published on 23 February 2023, the French Court of Auditors considered the French legal framework to be appropriate but subject to certain weaknesses.

According to the European Court of Auditors, money laundering represents 3% of global GDP and 1.3% of GDP European Union (EU) . But France sometimes has a defect in its quality. Indeed, the choice of a strengthened model for making professionals subject to due diligence, reporting and information obligations exceeds the norms of Financial Action Task Force ( Gafi ) and from the EU. Between 2009 and 2022, the Monetary and Financial Code that defines it was amended 26 times, including 4 times in 2020.

In reality, the Court of Auditors deplores “the integration of other professions within the scope of taxable persons has led to the imposition of a system on them without adapting it to the specificities of entities that often have neither the size, nor the means, nor the same relationships with their customers as credit institutions”.
