A document sent to the wrong person is an incident
Quebec trade rule for accountants and tax specialists.
The rule
A business that has reason to believe that a confidentiality incident has occurred must take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of harm. If the risk of harm is serious, it promptly notifies the Commission d'accès à l'information (Quebec's access to information commission) and the persons concerned (art. 3.5). That is why, with Leo, each client sees only their own file, and every access to your clients' documents is monitored.
