Description
This paper analyzes the political and professional battle over auditors crime-controlling responsibilities in Sweden.
The focus is on the discursive strategies of major actor-constellations during 1965–2000. The conclusion is that the duty
enacted in 1999 to report suspicions of crime, like earlier attempts in this direction, was not a reaction to major frauds
or scandals but a part of broader social-democratic policies during the period: to develop industrial democracy, to fight
economic crime, and to improve economic markets.
