With engaging stories and compelling data analysis, Erik Lie reveals how these schemes work and how to catch them.

Two powerful methods for detecting systematic fraud using data
How cheaters leave behind telltale statistical patterns
Why some of Wall Street's biggest frauds persisted for years despite red flags
The role of whistleblowers, journalists, and researchers in exposing deception
Packed with intriguing examples and whimsical illustrations, this eye-opening guide shows how anyone can help expose corporate misconduct hiding in plain sight.
