Navigating AI governance requirements for Canadian mortgage professionals as federal model risk management guidelines reshape industry expectations.

The regulatory landscape for AI in financial services is evolving rapidly. OSFI Guideline E-23 establishes comprehensive model risk management requirements for federally regulated financial institutions — requirements that will flow downstream to mortgage brokerages through lender contracts. DLCG is proactively preparing its network with governance frameworks, practical training, and clear guidance so professionals can confidently use AI tools while meeting emerging compliance expectations.
