Of course. I actually think that "we did everything we reasonably could have" or "doing more would be financially disadvantageous for us" are acceptable conclusions for an RCA. But it's important that such a conclusion is arrived at only after rigorously following the process and making a genuine high effort attempt to identify ways in which the system could be improved. You wouldn't be performing an RCA if the incident didn't have fairly serious consequences, right?

It could also well be that Joe did the same thing at his last employer, someone in hiring happened to catch wind of it, a disorganized or understaffed process resulted in the ball somehow getting dropped, and here you are.
