What accreditation statement should we use when partnering on an activity with a fellow accredited provider?

Since the ACCME defines joint providership as "the providership of a CME activity by one or more accredited and one or more nonaccredited organizations," an activity presented by two accredited providers is considered a co-provided activity.  There is no special accreditation statement for this scenario!  One provider must take the lead on ACCME/PARS reporting, and that provider's direct accreditation statement should be used.  You can also mention the educational partnership but keep that separate from the accreditation statement (which must follow ACCME's format, verbatim).


There's no need to include a disclosure to learners for a faculty member with no relevant financial relationships, right?

Wrong.  The ACCME requires that providers disclose both the presence AND absence of relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies.  You need to formally state this for your learner, i.e., "The following individuals have no relevant financial relationships to disclose..."
