If I take a vertical position internally will they be able to see my previous background check that has since been expunged? Can I tell them that is not accurate and they need to rerun it?

I am hopefully getting an offer soon for an internal position. I am however, starting to get concerned about my background check. By the grace of God I managed to secure my employment after doing an FBI background check. I did pay a lawyer and got my record expunged after I accepted my job.

If they do see it should I tell them it has been expunged? My lawyer said I don’t have to tell anyone that I ever had a record but the issue is that it was ran before it was officially expunged. Should I just say that it is not an accurate report and to rerun the background check? Do you think they will even look at the background check since it is internal?
