About This Course

Welcome to 'Safeguarding Charities from Abuse and Compliance Risk,' a comprehensive course examining the critical tension between charitable operations and anti-terrorism regulations in Canada. Grounded in the legal analysis that often mischaracterizes charities as villains when they are victims, this course will explore how a shift from an antagonistic to a collaborative regulatory approach can better protect the sector's integrity and public trust.

Through this program, you will gain a deep understanding of the complexities facing charities today, including:

The legal and practical challenges of the Canadian anti-terrorism financing regime.
Global vulnerabilities identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the OECD regarding charity susceptibility to abuse.
Distinctions between regulatory penalties under the Income Tax Act and criminal liabilities under the Criminal Code.
Insights from the "Muslim Association of Canada v Canada" case regarding regulatory scrutiny.
Comparison of Canada's punitive audit system with the UK's supportive compliance model.
Specific proposals for "collaborative regulation" and the potential for a specialized Canadian Charity Commission.

Upon completion, you will be equipped to identify key risks, understand regulatory frameworks, and advocate for reforms that balance security needs with the vital work of charitable organizations.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
