Someone in the HR department changed their vacation time to have more available.

The adjustment was discovered, and the vacation time adjusted the time to the correct amount.

Beyond limiting access by this individual, no further actions have been taken by management regarding the situation to my knowledge.

Fast forward to audit time and I have been submitted a fraud questionnaire by the auditors.

I can’t say there are no areas where i suspect fraud may have occurred.However, due to the small number of individuals who are aware of this activity, and managements and my knowledge of whom the auditor has sent fraud questionnaires to, it will stick out like a sore thumb if the auditor takes any additional steps as a result.

Should I approach management and give them a heads up to my answer before submitting them to the auditor?

Anyway you could send and anonymous tip, not using their questionnaire, but to inform them?

Dont inform management. Just send it to the auditors.

submitting an anonymous tip wouldn't help, in that only 4 or so people know about the situation. But, based on my observation of the ones I've talked to, none would consider it possible fraud and report it to the auditors. (i've not directly asked the question)

So, if the auditor does act on it or does additional procedures, it will be obvious it was me, the person who did it, or the person who fixed it.
