Kinda wonky responses. If your boss asks you to provide them with a document that says ‘this’ and you send that back to them, how does that constitute fraud? The fraud is the one that then forwards that factually incorrect information to the client.
People go on about having a document that you signed and attested as correct, but as far as I can see nothing like that was indicated by OP.
You become party to the fraud when you take that call and make false claims. So don’t do that.

- runlevel1 3y agoWhen asked to do such a thing a reasonable person would know or should have known that the document would be used to commit fraud. I think the legal term is "constructive knowledge." (IANAL)
- Aeolun 3y agoSure, but there’s no functional difference between being coerced into writing a specific thing in a document, and having the coercing person write it themselves. You can refuse, but the only person hurt in such a situation is yourself.
