Abstract

ABSTRACT

This research aims to investigate the use of internal corporate processes and reporting mechanisms as tools to regulate financial technology and mitigate associated risks, with a specific focus on data privacy within the Canadian legal context. Recognizing the critical importance of data privacy and corporate governance—particularly in light of high-profile cases involving FTX and QuadrigaCX—this study examines the governance implications of these issues. Additionally, the research explores the evolving landscape of open banking, a rapidly expanding feature of financial technology that is poised for regulation in Canada. By analyzing the nature, benefits, and risks of financial technology and reviewing extant privacy laws, this study examines the adequacy of existing laws and provide recommendations to improve the operation of financial technology in Canada.
