Workshop 2 - From Principles to Practice: Implementing the Code of Practice for Private-to-Private Information Sharing

Monday, September 21, 2026

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM EST

As financial crime grows more complex, effective information sharing between private sector organizations has become a critical tool in detecting and disrupting illicit activity. Move beyond theory to explore how principles of responsible information sharing are being translated into real-world practice.

Featuring perspectives from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and the Canadian MSB Association (CMSBA), which is working towards obtaining an approved Code of Practice, this session will examine how organizations can operationalize private-to-private information sharing while maintaining strong privacy protections and regulatory compliance.

Speakers will discuss the intent behind the Code, key considerations for implementation, and practical lessons learned from early adoption. Attendees will gain insight into balancing risk, privacy, and effectiveness, as well as what this evolving framework means for their own AML programs.

Ideal for compliance professionals, legal teams, and risk leaders, this session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from regulators and industry pioneers shaping the future of information sharing in Canada.
