NEW YORK, Feb. 7 -- iDNA (BULLETIN BOARD: IDAI) , a leading strategic communications and technology company announced today that it has joined forces with top ethicist Dr. David Schmidt to extend the offerings of its very successful Ethics and Compliance group. Dr. Schmidt will work with iDNA's ethics training producers to keep iDNA's ethics and compliance programs on the cutting-edge of best practices for business ethics training. Dr. Schmidt will also introduce appropriate clients from his own consulting practice to iDNA's growing roster of ethics and compliance training offerings. iDNA's 6-month old Ethics and Compliance group was created to meet the increasing demand for corporate ethics programs, which has grown as part of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance spending, an estimated $6 billion market in 2005. iDNA's Ethics and Compliance group produces custom modules for corporate clients looking for high-end ethics and compliance training and awareness programs.

Dr. Schmidt is an Associate Professor of Business Ethics and Chair of the Management Department in the Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University. For the past twenty years, he has also consulted to some of the top Fortune 500 companies, designing and training ethics programs, composing ethics codes and constructing mission statements. He is a well-regarded expert in the field, with numerous published articles to his credit, as well as the book "Wake-Up Calls," a collection of high profile business ethics case studies.

"Finding iDNA marks the successful culmination of a long search for a partner that can effectively address the evolving needs of U.S. corporations for innovative ethics training. I look forward to working with the iDNA group of companies and affording our clients access to their cutting edge technology," said Dr. Schmidt.
