Put your SOX, internal audit, or enterprise risk process into Workiva, or improve a setup your team already uses. We work from your methodology, configure the agreed workflow, and test responsibilities, permissions, and reporting before handoff.
Give your team a clear view of what is due, who is responsible, and what needs attention.
Put SOX control documentation, evidence collection, testing, and follow-up into a consistent workflow. Connect risks to controls, clarify ownership, and make outstanding work easier to track.
Support the work from audit planning through fieldwork, findings, and follow-up. Configure Workiva around your audit methodology, with clear review responsibilities and a consistent way to track open actions.
Build a risk register your team can maintain. Organize assessment criteria, owners, and response plans, then set up reporting for management and the board.
Follow a fictional approval control through evidence collection, testing, remediation, and retesting. See how each step connects to the reports your team needs.
Link each risk to its control in the risk and control matrix, with a named owner for the control.
Send the control owner an evidence request (PBC) with a due date, then collect the population and sample for testing.
Check whether each sampled invoice was approved on time by an authorized person. In this example, invoice S-03 fails both checks. A reviewer signs off the test.
Evaluate the test exception as a deficiency and assign an issue owner and due date. Track the action plan and confirm the fix with a retest before closure.
Use the same control results for the SOX status board, audit committee report, and management certification to keep status updates consistent.
Approval control AP-03, from its row in the matrix to a closed issue on the status board.
Follow a record:
Bring your risk or control register, assessment or testing criteria, owner list, and the report management needs. We confirm the Workiva capabilities available to you and scope one agreed process before configuration.
The agreed taxonomy, records, ownership, review steps, and management report, with migration totals and unresolved decisions documented.
Walk through an assessment or test as an owner and reviewer. Check permissions, overdue work, response tracking, and the report against the underlying records.
Your team practices its own cycle and keeps instructions for updates, reassessment, corrections, and routine administration. Follow-up support is scoped separately.
