The answer

Lying or cheating is not part of a Muslim's ethics. One must avoid submitting an unaudited budget to the bank, as that is considered cheating. Rather, an audited budget must be submitted, or the bank should be approached to be excused. Providing collateral to the bank is not sufficient, as they have specific purposes for requiring an audited budget.
