| Why Do Fraud Victims Not Pursue Justice? with Natalie Lewis | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:43:35 | |
Why do so many fraud victims choose to quietly move on rather than pursue criminal charges? In this episode, I explore this frustrating reality with Natalie Lewis, CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner, as we unpack why victims often choose the path of least resistance — and what this means for fraud prevention on a larger scale. Natalie brings her forensic accounting expertise to our conversation, sharing what it's really like to work massive fraud cases with mountains of discovery and impossibly tight deadlines. We discuss how to stay sane when you're drowning in data, why prioritization and teamwork become your lifeline, and how data analytics can save the day — especially when company turnover threatens to derail an investigation. If you've ever wondered why we don't see more fraud cases in court or how forensic accountants piece together complex financial crimes, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy reality of fraud investigation and victim psychology.

| The Best Embezzlers Are the Ones We Don't Know About with Eli Rosenblatt | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:48:44 | |
Who makes the better embezzler: men or women? According to this week's guest, it's impossible to know because the truly great embezzlers never get caught. I'm excited to welcome my longtime friend and colleague Eli Rosenblatt to Fraudish. Eli takes us through his wonderfully "squiggly" career path in fraud investigation, reminding us that there's no single route to success in this field—and that's what makes it exciting. Whether you're just starting out or contemplating a career pivot, Eli's journey proves there are countless ways to make your mark in fraud detection. We dive deep into Fraud in Pop Culture cause we are both nerds about it. Eli shares his favorite fictional fraud fighters and we geek out over the shows that get it right and wrong. If you've ever wondered about the crimes we never catch or felt stuck in your fraud career trajectory, this episode will open your eyes to possibilities you haven't considered.

| Why Good People Do Bad Things with Guido Palazzo | 23 Sep 2025 | 00:37:58 | |
This episode with Prof. Guido Palazzo blew my mind about how normal people turn into corporate criminals. Turns out it's less about bad apples and more about toxic orchards! We dish about all your favorite corporate disasters: Theranos, Wells Fargo, and France Telecom. Guido explains how fear and impossible targets are basically Fraud Fertilizer™. My favorite part? Learning that having a career "Plan B" is your best defense against being pressured into sketchy accounting, and that reading novels builds more ethical muscles than those cheesy HR training videos. Next time your boss talks about "getting creative with the numbers," remember this conversation and maybe update that resume... just saying!

Audit Analytics Great DudeTrent Russell’s tagline “We Improve Your Audit Analytics | Host of The Audit Podcast | 2021 Internal Audit Beacon award recipient”What's your favorite auditor joke? Did you hear the one about the interesting auditor?No? Me either.It's that perception that drives me nuts and part of why I do what I do. Every auditor is a consultant, it's just that we also have to do the assurance work that doesn't come with a lot of glamour. But, we can also do the consulting work. We can use analytics, automation, and dashboards to actually change the perception of internal audit as a cost center. | |||

Dr. Brody is a former regent for the ACFE and is also on the Fraud Magazine editorial panel. His background in the behavioral side of fraud is aligned with my work in fraud.
