You have been helping him create fictitious invoices knowingly so if ever somehow this comes to light you are an accomplice and could face criminal action too alongside your boss. Worse case scenario, your boss could put the blame sorely on you and then you are toast. I know of someone who was in a similar position as you and decided to keep mum. Now he is currently serving a 10 year jail term. We should learn to do the right thing always irrespective of the consequences. I know its easier said than done but your friend is now directly involved in this mess and can be seen as an accomplice 2 Likes |

All I see is people encouraging the op to keep mum.. Bunch of hypocrites, but yall fast to condemn a bread-stealing thieves to death by stoning and burning... If the Op cant blow the whistle because of fear of losing his job, you aint different from your boss. Before you start coming for me, I aint different either but maybe I would have honourably resign and state my boss money laundering as excuse for quitting. This country is bleeped anyway.. 6 Likes |

Blow the whistle if your hands are clean because i'm sure someone else has noticed this act so it's better they don't think you are a partner in crime with him. Blow the whistle with all your strength. 1 Like |

It's very unfortunate that an average Nigerian is perfidious. SMH! A people that mistakes perfidiousness for smartness can never experience sustainable growth/progress. Opportunism is evil. Honesty remains the best policy in business - and one cannot be smart without being honest. @OP; Your supposed friend will be doing more harm to himself in particular and his company at large should he allow such atrocity to continue. If I were him I would gather every necessary hard facts against the treacherous man and then call him to order in the best private and polite manner - I'll try to make him see reasons why he should desist from engaging in such a nefarious acts, and of course with a starn promise - not warn - to blow a whistle if he decides to continue in his evil ways. What a subordinate owe's his boss is loyalty not servility . . . This is for those that do misinterpret the "never outshine your master" mantra at any given time. If your life mission doesn't include leaving any environment and person better than you met them, believe you me that you're missing something great. 1 Like |

oge4real: Dear Friend, there is hope for Nigeria! OP, my advise is that you gather incontrovertible evidence, and walk in on the highest officer of the company without invitation. Confront him with the evidence and demand immediate action. Do not bother about losing your job, because from my more than 20 years' experience, jobs don't make you rich, but uncommon action does! If you fear losing your job, consider there are more than 20 million jobless Nigerians, all alive thou suffering some inconveniences, but the GOd of Nigeria and the Creator of that Company is counting on you. If you lose your job eventually, send your cv to abv001@gmail.com Also consider that nobody has advised that you will lose your life. If you feel threatened, report to the Police as well! Godspeed! 5 Likes |

Before your friend burst the bubble he should kindly take a good look at himself at the mirror and ask himself these questions 1) Am I without sin? 2) Is the act affecting my bonuses and salary? 3) Do I think it is only my boss that benefit from the act? 4) Have I calculated the risk and reward if I eventually snitch on him? NB : Things like this put one's life in grave danger. He might succeed in reporting his boss and the firm will kick the boss out and prolly have him face the law but what happens afterwards might not be good for your friend. So he should be careful and if possible mind his business |

Your boss can even survive the issue if you blow the whistle but you will not survive it. Even if you remain in the company they will still hand over to another potential thief that will frustrate or sideline you. They will treat you like leper in that organization. Don't underestimate the power of corrupt people |

This is what 99.9% of Nigerian managers, accountants, procurement officers and office position holders do! The worst part of it is that they back themselves up with charms/juju/jazz which they use to silence and suppress every opposition or whistle blower. Companies and agencies should start making use of internet and e-commerce websites when buying things for the organization, that's one way to solve these kickback and jacking up price corruption in Nigerian companies and organizations. Companies should start making policies that will forbid any staff buying things directly from any supplier....they should go and buy online where price is stated and known, so let's see how they will come up with bogus price. Corruption can only reduce in Nigeria when we start making use of electronics and computer in most of our daily organization transactions with reduced human handling. And the painful part is after making all these money, they squander it on girls....they keep girlfriends all over Nigeria (in every university campus) and abroad. reason you see more young ladies driving luxury cars than young guys, it's because corrupt Nigerian men in top management and government positions! Cursed men!! 1 Like |

Please blow the whistle anonymously. It should never be traced back to you. Do not fold your hands and let evil continue. |

HomoDroid: I understand how far an opportunist/covetous person can go to achieve his inordinate aims. Yet, experience has taught me that the easiest malleable set of people are the conceited ones. One only need to apply diplomacy in handling them - thus the reason why I suggested that he should call him to order in a most private and polite way to advice him to stop his perfidious acts. He would have to assure him that the secret is between them (and mean it too), else he would become the traitor. And of course to get him to submission conventional wisdom ought to let him know that he should proffer a solution to curb his insatiableness for perfidy. The rule always is never eat from your associates but earn to share with them. . . Any well grounded boss in admin of any organization knows how to use this simply philosophy to enrich himself without stealing from his company or associate(s). However, in the event that the OP's friend lack knowledge on how to implement the above formula, then the separation/distant and application method is an option too. No matter what may, it's very important that he should first try to caution him to change for good - blowing a whistle against him should be his last option. |

Let me comment here too. I will advise you go about your required duties, you clearly said the internal auditor is quiet. It could be, he/she gets sorted too. Blowing the whistle might ultimately get you sacked and if you are lucky, you get invited to another company. But then if you are asked the reason for sack, would you say coz you blow the whistle? Meaning you might end up lying and contradicting your moral stands already. On the other hand, your boss whom you reported will certainly not get sacked. For him to attain that level, he can call in for favours. Please be wise. Wisdom is profitable to direct. |

The question isn't just about whether he should blow the whistle, your friend needs to be clear about who the complaint is directed to. Public sector corruption isnt the same as private sector corruption. As a private company, he'll need to get the attention of key management. If the boss is in management and the Company doesn't have a whistleblower policy then he may have to sit on his hands and bide his time. |
