ABOUT KATIA SAAD
I’m a Partner in BDO Canada’s Risk Advisory Services practice with over 20 years of experience in governance, technology risk, and compliance. I work with organizations across financial services, technology, manufacturing, and professional services to strengthen internal control environments, enhance IT governance, and align risk management with strategic objectives. My expertise includes internal controls over financial reporting, third-party assurance (SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001), IT risk assessments, and integrated governance and compliance programs. Leveraging frameworks such as COSO, COBIT, and NIST, I help organizations build clear, consistent, and resilient governance structures. I also advise on AI governance, supporting leaders as they assess risk, establish responsible-use practices, and strengthen oversight in an evolving technology landscape. Known for a collaborative and pragmatic approach, I partner closely with executive teams to design risk and governance practices that build trust, enhance performance, and support sustainable growth.
