La lutte contre la corruption constitue, depuis une vingtaine d'année, une priorité, tant pour les États que du point de vue international. D'abord, fondée sur le blanchiment de capitaux, notamment issus de trafics de stupéfiants et du terrorisme, la lutte contre la corruption tend désormais à devenir autonome. Le secteur bancaire et financier par lequel transitent des flux financiers licites et illicites, et qui a subi des crises et scandales considérables dans les dernières années, paraît susceptible d'être le réceptacle d'opérations de corruption, sans pour autant que cette question n'ait été ni pensée, ni ait formé véritablement le socle d'une action résolue des instances internationales et nationales. Il devenait, dès lors, nécessaire de s'interroger sur le système d'intégrité bancaire et financier (SIBF), dans ses versants préventif et répressif. Il en est ressorti que ce dernier, à l'instigation d'organisations internationales et consécutivement à des traumatismes politiques et financiers, a subi en quelques années une importante évolution. Ce développement a conduit, d'abord, au renforcement des dispositifs de prévention dans les établissements bancaires et financiers. Il a, ensuite, offert de nouvelles ressources au système judiciaire, par exemple, à travers le procureur de la République financier et l'enrichissement de ses méthodes d'enquêtes. Le SIBF, cependant, éprouve des difficultés graves pour contrer efficacement les menaces de la corruption qui restent en mouvement constant. Aussi conviendrait-il que les pouvoirs publics mettent résolument en œuvre des politiques publiques fortes dans le domaine, qui pourraient s'inspirer des propositions formulées à la fin de cette thèse. / For about twenty years, on a State and international basis, the fight against corruption has constituted a priority. Originally based on money laundering, essentially from drug trafficking and terrorism, the fight against corruption is nowadays tending to become autonomous. In the past years, the banking and financial sector, transited by lawful and illicit financial flows, has not been able to avoid considerable crises and scandals. This sector seems to be a haven for corruption operations ; though, this question has never really been taken into account, nor being thought as to form a common base for a resolute international and national response. It then becomes necessary to wonder about the banking and financial integrity system (SIBF), in both its preventive and repressive sides. At the instigation of international organisations and responsivly to political and financial traumatisms, the SIBF has undertaken a tremendous development. This evolution led, first, to the strengthening of the prevention mechanisms in the banking and financial institutions. It also offered new developments for the judiciary means, such as the instauration of the national financial prosecutor and the enrichment of his means of investigation. However, the SIBF presents serious difficulties for efficiently countering the constantly moving and evolving corruption threats. It would be then necessary that the concerned authorities implement resolutely strong public policies in this domain, which could be inspired by the proposals formulated at the end of this thesis.

This work deals with the use of NoSQL database systems in an environment of financial institutions. The work has several objectives: to characterize the types of NoSQL database systems, for selected systems to analyze their properties, their potential use in financial institutions to develop proposals case studies for their use, and one of them select and implement a demonstration of the possibilities of using this type of database system in the specific environment of financial institutions. These objectives are to be achieved by providing a description and analysis of the theoretical part, practical part in designing, choosing, implementation, verification and acceptance of one case study - based on acceptances criteria. In the thesis are the basic concepts of database systems explained first. It is explained in more detail the concept of NoSQL and related terms including causes and genesis, classification systems NoSQL in each category. The next part contains a comparison of the characteristics of relational database - relational systems and NoSQL database systems. The next chapter deals with the needs of financial institutions in the context of the use of database systems. There are also analyzed the properties of several selected NoSQL database systems . The next chapter is based on the analytical findings from previous chapters devoted to finding poten-tials lu use NoSQL database systems in an environment of financial institutions, which is the basic theme of the thesis . The penultimate chapter contains a suggestions of case studies, one of which is selected and a description of the results of its implementation are described in the last chapter . The main contribution of this work is a contribution to the theory of NoSQL systems and the possibili-ty of their use by financial institutions, which take into account when choosing a database system, or a combination of database systems, in practical terms can lead not only to increase the efficiency of their use, but also to optimize the acquisition and operational the costs of such systems.

Businesses, governments and communities are increasingly interested in measuring the non-financial impacts of their activities and investments. This assessment often takes the form of measurement models that utilize a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework, namely looking at the areas ofthe environment, the economy, and the social simultaneously. Despite its many accounting flaws, more and more organizations adopt this philosophy by applying it literally in the form of impact reports. In this framework, the social dimension is the most challenging to measure. Because of its complexities, this aspect of TBL reporting has often been vague and lack rigor. The research question I am addressing is: what facilitates or inhibits the uptake and use of meaningful social bottom line reporting? From conducting case studies that include document analyses and in-depth open-ended interviews with key decision-makers of organizations in the Community Development Financial Institution industry (CDFI), I examined how and why these organizations effectively measure their social and community impact. Given that there are inherent flaws with the logic of the social dimension of Triple Bottom Line reporting but organizations nevertheless are using it, this study looked in-depth at Community Development Financial Institutions that utilize various measurement methods to assess their particular impact on the social dimension of communities. The struggles, experiences, processes and content of social bottom line reporting by CDFls revealed that their uptake and use is facilitated by being mission driven, having a compatible business model, and by demands from their stakeholders, funders, and regulation requirements. It is hindered by a lack of sufficient capacity, unclear social bottom line definitions, and a lack of embedded ness in their day to day operations.

Right now, we are living through a pivotal age, having minimal time left to resolve one of the most pressing challenges of today – biodiversity loss. Due to various direct and indirect risks arising for financial institutions (FIs) from biodiversity degradation, FIs should have legitimate interests in how business partners engage with and report on biodiversity. However, insights into how biodi-versity loss could destabilise the financial system fall behind climate change consciousness. Moreover, the scientific literature is scattered, and corporate reporting often focuses on the broad topic of the environment instead of biodiversity specifically. Nonetheless, moving up biodiversity on the agenda, FIs would be capable of redirecting investments, nudging development, and be-coming co-agents of change. This master thesis aims to systematically review existing literature and investigate current reporting practices, addressing the two research questions: (1) “How can the financial sector contribute to limiting biodiversity loss?”, by applying literature review and (2) 'What is the extent of biodiversity reporting of financial institutions across Europe to halt biodiversity loss?” by conducting content analysis. Focusing on Europe, where living standards caused signifi-cant biodiversity loss within and across its boundaries, selected high-revenue FIs serve as a case study for content analysing sustainability reporting on topics of biodiversity. The thesis shall over-lay the insights from reviewing literature and practical implementations within the reporting to carve out advice for practitioners and academia. Consequently, this thesis presents how FIs can raise awareness of biodiversity to limit its loss and how overall biodiversity influences the finance system.:Backround Research Question & Method 1 Research Question & Method 2 Results - Literature Review Results - Content Analysis Diskussion - Call for Action
