Description
This course explores how technical standards, digital regulations, and security policies have become powerful economic tools that influence markets, trade, and competitive dynamics. It examines how these forces are reshaping digital commerce, procurement practices, and market access, and highlights the structural risks created by Canada’s approach to intangible assets and standards - risks that CPAs increasingly need to understand.
Key Takeaways
Upon completion of this course, you will learn:
- How standards have shifted from technical “plumbing” to core economic and geopolitical infrastructure.
- How security policy is hardening into trade rules, certifications and procurement requirements.
- Why reciprocity in digital trade does not produce symmetric outcomes.
- How security policy and standards are reshaping trade, market access and competitive advantage.
- Where CPAs must exercise judgment as governance, risk and trade converge.
Who Will Benefit
CPAs in industry and public practice who advise on governance, enterprise risk, procurement, strategy or cross-border operations, particularly those supporting organizations exposed to digital trade, regulation or North American market integration.
