Narrative:

During cruise, I got an accessory gearbox light (red). Procedure calls for engine shut down. We secured the engine and notified ATC. Then proceeded to our destination (lck) which was 100 NM away. We made an uneventful landing. I secured the plane and called my flight following department at dfw who then had maintenance call me. Maintenance suggested I check the gearbox oil, add if needed then run up the engine. I added 1 qt of oil and ran up the engine. The light didn't come back on, the problem appeared to be solved. We have no local maintenance in lck so upon dfw maintenance telling me the problem was now solved, we subsequently departed and returned to richmond, our base. Upon arrival I entered the shutdown in the air carrier book and advised our local maintenance at ric and dfw. The problem was corrected and signed off. My problem: I should have stayed on the ground in lck after the shutdown and forced our dfw maintenance to arrange for an inspection and sign off prior to departure. I have since met with our director of operations, chief pilot and maintenance to complain about this and told them that I will stay on the ground next time.
