CAPAPA

The Canadian Association of Professional Access and Privacy Administrators (CAPAPA) is a unique association that is dedicated to the ongoing professional development, education and expanded expertise of individuals who work in the information access and privacy field. Incorporated in June, 2002, CAPAPA has members across Canada in both the private sector and all levels of government.

CAPAPA is proud to be a supporting association of the Prairie Health Information Privacy Day 2007. Please visit their website at www.capapa.org for more details about CAPAPA and the programs they run and support.

CAPAPA has been created in response to the growing demand for information access and protection of privacy (IAPP) professionals in the private and public sectors. The Faculty of Extension of the University of Alberta has played a key role in helping to facilitate the creation of this professional association.

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants

The CICA, together with the provincial CA institutes/ordre, represent all CAs in Canada and Bermuda. The CICA conducts research into current business issues and supports the setting of accounting, auditing and assurance standards for business, not-for-profit organizations and government.

Developed jointly with the AICPA, Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP) is a global privacy framework designed to create a common North American privacy standard that takes into consideration international requirements. It is essential to the proper protection and management of personal information and provides suitable criteria against which a privacy audit can be performed.
