falsifier
One who deceives
A falsifier is someone who makes something false—whether by altering records, forging documents, or spreading lies.
The term carries a formal, almost legal tone: The accountant was exposed as a falsifier of financial statements.
A falsifier deliberately distorts truth rather than merely making errors.
