Insights from our June 26 session on what regulators expect and how teams can evolve
In our June 26 webinar, Eric Morehead, Director of Advisory Services here at LRN, explored how recent updates to the DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs are reshaping expectations for how organizations design, resource, and measure their compliance efforts.
The DOJ’s message is clear: programs must go beyond paper policies. Regulators now expect compliance functions to have timely access to relevant data, use analytics to monitor effectiveness, and demonstrate that programs are not just well designed—but actually work.

Where teams stand—and where they need to go
Despite growing pressure, many organizations remain behind. LRN’s 2025 Program Maturity Assessment found that only 38% of organizations use data analytics to monitor risk, and over one-third still track misconduct manually. These gaps limit oversight, erode trust, and may raise red flags with regulators.
The DOJ is also placing more emphasis on proportionality—ensuring compliance investments align with business size, complexity, and risk. Under-resourced programs or outdated tools may suggest a lack of seriousness, regardless of intent.
Moving from intent to impact
To align with DOJ expectations, Eric shared practical next steps:
- Audit your data sources
- Define KPIs tied to risk areas
- Invest in tools for real-time reporting
- Train compliance teams to interpret and act on insights
Whether it’s monitoring policy engagement, evaluating training effectiveness, or forecasting resourcing needs, data is becoming the new foundation for credible compliance programs.
