You can't just fudge the/some numbers
That's what they usually talk about in this line of business. If you want a lighter touch, you could say "get creative with your numbers". If, on the other hand, you need to take it a step further, it becomes "cooking the books". By then, it's already something tax authorities and district attorneys may develop an unhealthy interest in:)
