TO answer your question you should be professional, if your Admin friend is professional he would appreciate it.
The grave i see here is not about his performance or process, but his credibility, Admin & finance professional deal with lots of purchases and cash dealings ( iam not being judgmental) so one has to be very diligent and honest to the system.
As there are no written clauses about actions etc.
I believe, you have to get your senior to the confidence and both should jointly speak to him and making him realize that this is not right and he should do this with anyone ever and give him a chance to correct his mistake, this will be a good gesture as an employer and also a just action.
