A connected issue is the possibility of negative effects of a report to the authorities (NOS, 2016). This is connected to the loss of control mentioned above, since negative effects cannot be mitigated by corporate investigators or clients when they have no control over the situation.So reporting to the police means a loss of control. This means that your production processes are probably going to be interrupted, because, say they arrest the guy and think ‘we need more information’, they’ll just come and take it. Even if you are the one reporting. And they might think, ‘great that you reported this but we feel that there might also be a suspicion against the organisation here’. So, they come and take your books, interrupt your production process, you have no clue what the result of the criminal investigations is going to be, it might back-fire on the organisation or management, you will get bad publicity… It’s not the case that the prosecution office reports every investigation to the papers but there are cases in which they do want publicity. And they are in charge, the best you can do is try to exert some influence by consulting with them. (Respondent 28—forensic legal investigator/client)
