Statement from A. Tysen Duva: AAG of DOJ Criminal Division

In the Ethicsverse Day 2026 keynote, Assistant Attorney General Tysen Duva — head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division — spoke directly to the compliance community for roughly thirty minutes. This recap captures every part of his statement and Q&A: his three enforcement priorities, the June 2025 FCPA memo, the corporate enforcement policy and its flowchart, the Balt and Scoular cases, and his working definition of good-faith self-disclosure.

Leveraging Tone at the Top: Turning Intent Into Global Culture

Host Nick Gallo of Ethico and moderator Matt Kelly of Radical Compliance were joined by Tara Shewchuk, SVP, Chief Privacy, Integrity & Compliance Officer at Medtronic, and Kershwin Singh, a longtime life-sciences compliance lawyer formerly with ZOLL, Pfizer, and Boehringer, to unpack how compliance teams actually mobilize tone at the top. This recap covers every major theme: what leveraging tone really means, why culture is a control rather than a nice-to-have, the cascade through middle managers, winning buy-in and making programs mandatory, senior-leader tactics from integrity awards to video vignettes, overcoming employee cynicism, building turnkey tools, sustaining consistency with an ethics score, the DOJ lens, and how to talk about ROI.

Rethinking What Hotline Data Can Tell Us: Silence as an Early Warning Signal

Host Nick Gallo sat down with Valerie Cloud, Chief Compliance Officer of Summa Health, to rethink how we read hotline data. This recap covers every major theme: why low volume never means low risk, the iceberg of hidden risk that never enters the hotline, moving from reactive to predictive compliance, closing the loop to build a culture of ambassadors, reading signals beyond substantiation rates, triangulating hotline data with turnover and exit interviews, treating speak-up culture as a hard-wired operational safeguard, holding leaders accountable, and reframing the board conversation around the three things that matter.

The Decision Intelligence Gap: Good Intentions to Consistent Execution

Host Nick Gallo sat down with Dr. Hemma R. Lomax — Deputy General Counsel, VP, Head of Global Business Integrity at Docusign and author of The Decision Intelligence Gap — and Chelsea Azrak, VP, Law & Compliance at Revlon Inc., to explore the distance between what organizations know they should do and what actually happens at 4:59 on a Friday. This recap covers every major theme: why the gap persists even in mature programs, why we should build high-quality decision-making rather than police decisions, the business judgment rule for employees, designing organizations to learn, embedding decision-useful guidance in the flow of work, and how compliance becomes a thought partner instead of the office of no.

EV MBA: Engaging Operations, Supply Chain, and Tech Teams

The fifth installment of the Ethicsverse MBA series turns to the machine behind the brand — operations, supply chain, and technology. Host Nick Gallo argues that most business risk lives in the back office where the boots are on the ground, and shows how compliance can map supply chain tiers, build fluency with the tech stack and data governance, ask the right questions of a CTO, and use an operational risk heat map to reach every process in the enterprise. Anchored by the Boeing 737 MAX and Rana Plaza case studies, this recap covers the full session.

The New Standards for Compliance Training: Why Engagement Beats Length

Host Nick Gallo sat down with Kirsten Liston and Patti Caswell of Rethink Compliance to unpack why the bar for compliance training has moved — and what modern, behavior-changing training actually looks like. This recap captures every major theme: why the standard has changed, engagement as the only currency that matters, the layer-cake of subject expertise and creative presentation, authenticity over polish, the telltale signs of a stale program, treating adults like adults, and how to collect data that proves training mattered.

This recap traces every major thread — the standards patchwork, the limits of policy, shadow AI, the speed-versus-governance tension, accountability when AI goes sideways, and pragmatic advice for turning gray into color.

Predictably Noncompliant: What Behavioral Science Tells Us About Ethical Failure

This recap moves through every major theme — from rationalization and the slippery slope to saliency, culture, the additive-rule trap, psychological safety, and designing programs for real humans rather than a fantasy workforce.

Before the Subpoena: Early Warning Signs of Financial Misconduct

By the time a subpoena arrives, the misconduct is usually years old — a string of accounting entries that never quite made sense, an auditor who was quietly pushed away, warnings that were explained away rather than investigated. This webinar unpacks what financial fraud looks like in the period before enforcement, and how compliance teams can recognize the earliest signals, control the narrative, and protect the organization.

Algorithmic Antitrust Risk: The Newest AI Compliance Challenge

Antitrust enforcers at the Department of Justice have begun warning companies about a risk they call "algorithmic antitrust" — the possibility that an AI pricing tool could trigger the same price-fixing, bid-rigging, or market-allocation violations that have been illegal since the Sherman Act of 1890.
