I have a friend who has had some problems with her managers. They have made her working life difficult since she moved to working in their area of a large corporation, they've set her unreasonable deadlines, expected excessive overtime etc and she's just had an appraisal where they've (unfairly) marked her down.

She thinks that the falsified records are not a constant thing, just done where they needed to...

When you say breaching company law - is it an internal process or a legal requirement?

These situations are incredibly difficult, but first off she needs to log absolutely everything.

I would say that a company who is open and honest with a whistle blower is a rare beast indeed.

Could audits be completed on the information to show it was falsified?
