What to do if someone at the company that I work at changed my approved hours?

During last year I was working as an IT consultant through a vendor of a large corporation. About 10 months ago I worked 210 hours. I entered my time in their on-line system and printed out the screen shot and had my manager approved and signed it. Approximately a month later someone from the corporation went into my time a reduced it by 30 hours. Who do I file a report against with the board of labor – the agency that paid me or the corporation that changed my hours?

If you believe that the hours were changed by the corporation, as you apparently do, it would be the one that you file a complaint with the department of labor against, and/or bring you own civil lawsuit against. If the agency merely pays you based on the hours logged in by the corporation, their client, then the agency did not necessarily do anything wrong.
