AAIB generally are extremely helpful and nonjudgemental in their dealings with the people who report accidents to them.
Unless they've been lied to, in which case they get very unpleasant, and rightly so.
The captain MUST submit the report to AAIB, and MUST be absolutely truthful.
If somebody has submitted untrue information on his behalf, or he's been persuaded to submit untrue information, far and away his best policy is to contact the AAIB inspector directly and come clean.
The insurance company will inevitably read the AAIB report - so they clearly also need absolutely true information. However, don't volunteer to an insurance company anything they didn't ask for.
