From insider trading to Ponzi schemes, business fraud is as old as Wall Street itself. But today’s cheaters leave behind digital fingerprints — statistical patterns and red flags — that make it possible to catch them in the act. With the right tools, anyone can learn to spot misconduct hiding in plain sight.

In this interactive session, Erik Lie, finance professor and department chair at the Tippie College of Business, will share insights from his #1 New Release on Amazon, Catching Cheats: Everyday Forensics to Unmask Business Fraud. Drawing on cases from Martha Stewart to Bernie Madoff, Erik will explain how fraudsters operate, why their schemes persist, and the surprising role that data, researchers, and even ordinary observers can play in exposing deception.

Whether you’re a business leader, lifelong learner, or simply curious about how scandals unfold, you’ll walk away with eye-opening stories, practical forensic techniques, and a sharper lens for spotting fraud in the business world.
