Just give her a friendly heads up that your company actually verifies all educational degrees. Tell her that because people with degrees usually tend to get a paid a little higher your company verifies degrees to make sure they are paying the right salaries.
If someone lies on their resume it is automatic grounds for not offering them a job. If they cant be honest, do you want them working for you?

No Your friend should watch out. Employers check a person's degree status through an agency called the national clearing house. This service provides them with the time which the person attended and if they received a degree. I thought about doing it also, but I've seen candidates turned down because of lieing. Your friend should change her resume.

Come on, what are friends for, help her out, your company will never hold you responsible because she lied on her resume. If they ask you a question directly pertaining to her degree, then its time to be honest with your employer, but if they don't ask, then don't tell.

Depends, are you one of her references or did you tell her to apply. If not let the company do their own investigation and find out the truth. If so, tell the company about what you found out and that you do not approve of it. That way it won't fall on you when it hits the fan.

Certainly I wouldn't be a reference for her! Then YOUR credibility will be in doubt if this is discovered.
Then, the brutal truth - many companies don't delve into backgrounds much (depending on the company and the position.) It may never be discovered.
But don't jeapordize YOURSELF!!!

Confront her about what? She won't get the job when they do the background check or verify her education.

Tell her you cannot vouch for her. If you do vouch for her and they find out she lied, it could hurt your status within the company.

Sticky situation but being open and honest is always the best policy. Better to nip it now then later.

Don't put yourself in a position you will regret later on.

Tell her that you won't assist her in getting hired. That's all
