Summary/Abstract: In the current conditions of the globalization process, all the countries of the European Union need changes in the paradigms of supporting the performances imposed by sustainable development, in order to face the new challenges of the XXI century. One of the most important challenges is financial fraud and the corruption associated with it, which is a serious obstacle to any economic growth and, by extension, to sustainable development. This is because, between the level and the way of manifestation of fraud and corruption in any country and the necessity and manner of achieving the sustainable development of that country, there is a strong causal link, corresponding to cause-and-effect links. In this respect, financial fraud and corruption linked to transnational organized crime have the effect of seriously affecting the levels of economic and social development, and the lower they are, the more they support organized crime groups through corruption and fraud, all of which have the main effect of inhibiting performance of any kind and sustainable economic development. This professional study represents the completion of several researches whose objective was to identify the interdependencies strictly necessary for the consolidation of the rule of law in Romania, as a unique solution for strengthening the guarantees of undisputed consequences of the road to sustainable development. Through this study, we have proposed that, in relation to the issue and current challenges, we identify the main mechanisms that can be the basis of preventing and combating fraud and corruption in Romania, for the continuous consolidation of performances in all areas of economic and social life and the multiplication of the guarantees for achieving the objectives for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
