5. Reports of Suspected Crime<br />
Tax authorities, receivers in bankruptcy and KFM <strong>report</strong>ed a total of<br />
27,947 offences in 1998-2003. Forty-eight percent was by the tax authorities,<br />
and the other 52% was by receivers in bankruptcy and KFM.<br />
KFM and receivers in bankruptcy accounted for the majority of <strong>report</strong>s in<br />
1999-2000 and the minority afterwards. But the difference has not been<br />
particularly great. The total number of <strong>report</strong>s rose by 2,148 from 2001<br />
to 2003. Following a decline from 1999 to 2001, that represents a steep<br />
increase.<br />

Report Statistics<br />
Official <strong>crime</strong> statistics use somewhat different criteria than do EBM’s<br />
<strong>report</strong>s. The official figures include economic <strong>crime</strong> only when there is reasonable<br />
cause for suspicion. As a result, the statistics reflect only offences<br />
that turn up in the suspect and criminal register. In other words, a large<br />
percentage of the offences investigated by EBM do not appear in the<br />
