What should you do if know someone is forging checks?

What should you do if know someone is forging checks?
This accountant is taking blank checks from the job and forging the bosses signature. To my knowledge the accountant has not cashed any, but could have and has not been caught. Plus, has large amounts of checks ready to be cashed in case the accountant gets fired. The accountant also has the original tax returns and corporate books and copies of SS numbers. There are four bosses and two have been told and trust this accountant anyway, the other two (who started the company) bosses do not know. I do not know what to do in this situation. I know what the accountant is up too. Who do you call without the accountant finding out and being identified?

Answer 1 :
Tell the boss immediately.
Answer 2 :
Vinny if you are 64, then bribe him, or? Then retire. If you do retire, then good luck. But you could retire in style in a warmer country, it's worth thinking about. Scruples; Hell. Now you need to be more devious than him, to avoid detection.
Answer 3 :
Do a written memo to all of your bosses outlining what you know and if possible get some tangible evidence. If you do not do this then at some stage, out of spite you could be implicated. Also suggest the police should be notified of your suspicions.
