I don't think you would be held legally responsible if they are changing 
things without you knowing, any half-decent lawyer would get you out of that 
one.

If you want to be on the safe side, then draft a document that states any 
consequences of changes made without your consent will not be your 
responsibility.  Then get your boss to sign it, if he refuses announce that 
therefore you must take measures to prevent physical and electronic access 
to all the systems you are responsible for.  Then disconnect the internet 
line to the US and see how long before he agrees to sign it :-)
