Workiva Inc., a leading AI-powered platform for trust, transparency, and accountability, has introduced the next generation of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions at the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Great Audit Minds conference. By unifying audit, risk, controls, and reporting on a single intelligent platform, Workiva addresses growing regulatory pressures, AI governance needs, and real-time assurance demands, helping CFOs and audit leaders eliminate data silos, reduce manual work, and shift from reactive compliance to proactive strategic guidance in enterprise risk management and financial technology.

Workiva empowers finance, audit, and risk leaders to connect disparate data sources into a single source of truth, establishing an unbroken chain of trust from raw data to executive disclosures amid increasing regulatory complexity and technology-driven risks.
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies alongside AI adoption and real-time assurance expectations, organizations relying on fragmented point solutions face growing inefficiencies and liabilities. Workiva’s unified platform integrates GRC with financial, sustainability, and regulatory reporting, allowing teams to operationalize the IIA’s updated Global Internal Audit Standards efficiently.
Junko Swain, SVP and Chief Accounting Officer, Workiva, stated: “Visionary CFOs are looking beyond incremental efficiency to a future where automation eliminates manual audit work entirely. Our customers are driving toward zero human-initiated tasks, expanding their capacity for real-time insights and proactive guidance.”
The platform’s AI capabilities deliver real-time control health monitoring through intelligent dashboards, surfacing insights that enable proactive risk management. Controls Management transforms static environments into dynamic systems, while Audit Management equips lean teams with AI-driven workflows, pre-built frameworks, and automated testing to focus on strategic advisory rather than compliance coordination.
Risk Management provides connected intelligence to uncover systemic and emerging threats, supporting data-backed recommendations for enterprise resilience.
Bradley Niedzielski, Audit & Assurance Partner, Business Controls Advisory Leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP, commented: “As AI adoption accelerates, compliance teams across the organization are adapting their approaches to better anticipate risk and support informed decision-making for the CFO and the board – often requiring both the right skillsets and the right tools. While most compliance teams already bring strong critical thinking capabilities, Workiva helps connect enterprise data to provide timely insights. Deloitte is thrilled to work with Workiva to support compliance functions as they continue evolving their operating models to meet the fast-paced risk demands of today’s business landscape.”
Brian Savoy, CFO, Duke Energy, added: “AI drives efficiency, but its greater potential is enabling our people to extract insights that inform high-impact decisions.”
Alexander Davis, Deputy CFO, Pie Insurance, noted: “If your organization is all-in on AI and you’re not all-in on data, you might have a problem.”
Jonathan Ruf, Deputy CISO, Apple Bank, stated: “The integration capabilities of the Workiva platform have reduced human error and allowed our teams to work together seamlessly. We can now report more effectively, providing our executive and board-level management with clear insights into risk assessments.”
Arvin Floresca, Vice President, Internal Audit, Claritev, said: “Workiva is excellent at staying ahead of regulatory changes. The platform grows with us, allowing us to scale and adapt as our business evolves.”
This evolution positions Workiva as a foundational platform for the future of trust, enabling organizations to lead with confidence in an era of uncertainty and rapid technological change.
