Last month I made a big mistake. I work for a medium size insurance co. Last month I voided several claim checks totaling about $17K in our system when they should have been sent as unclaimed property to the state. I was overworked and stressed and I didn't think it through. I discovered my mistake a week ago while reconciling some accounts. To make matters worse, I had recently had a compliance discussion on this very subject and I stated I would never tell anyone to void old checks and reissue. I have been with my co for 7 yrs. To add to it, I just got a promotion and a good size raise for my hard work and honesty. The financials are being worked on now and I'm terrified that my mistake will be found out. Part of me says fess up and deal with the outcome. The other part says maybe they won't discover it, its not a large amount. I've been agonizing over this since I discovered my error. I don't want my boss to think Im a liar, but I don't want to loose my job. WWUD???
