Falsified, as figures (6)

I believe the answer is:

fudged

'falsified as figures' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fudged that I've seen before include "Put together in makeshift way, faked" , "Faked using soft sweet?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
