I work for a company and was asked by the CEO to backdate 2 business checks totaling about $280,000. The checks were written on January 4 but I was told to date them in the system for 12/30 as to reduce the companies tax liabilities for 2019. The checks aren’t even going to be mailed and the CEO said he was going to go to the bank and tell them that the checks were lost in the mail and then wire the payments to the vendor. I questioned the legality of this and was told to do my job and print the checks. Is this in any way legal?
