Podcast #192 | Erik Lie: Catching Cheats, Fraud Detection, and the Board’s Evolving Role

Episode #192 of the Boardroom Governance Podcast features Erik Lie, the Amelia Tippie Chair in Finance and Professor at the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa.

His new book, Catching Cheats: Everyday Forensics to Unmask Business Fraud, offers a compelling look at how forensic economics and data-driven analysis can help identify wrongdoing that remains hidden in plain sight.

Evan and Erik talk about a broad range of governance and fraud-related issues, beginning with the challenges of private-market data, the evolving responsibilities of directors in fraud detection, and real-world lessons from the Bernie Madoff case and other historic white-collar scandals.
