“Please calculate the totals to reflect a favourable result”

Sounds like what accountants do already

Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.

Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.

Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.
