Wdesk
Connected reporting platform for finance, audit, risk and sustainability teams in large organisations
By Workiva

About Wdesk
Workiva's connected reporting platform
Workiva's reporting and compliance platform is Wdesk. It brings financial reporting, ESG and sustainability, audit and risk work into one environment where data, permissions, workflows and collaboration are shared. Workiva describes itself as the only platform that unites all of these, and says enterprises in 180 countries rely on it, including government agencies. It also states that its customers have linked over five billion data elements.
Financial and regulatory reporting
The platform targets the manual work of financial reporting: annual and interim reports, voluntary and mandatory disclosures, and filings that must be audited and regulated. The company's pitch is to cut chaos and risk by connecting teams, processes and data instead of working in silos.
Risk and compliance
Audit, IT risk and compliance sit in the same system, which is meant to give organizations control over disconnected data and help them keep pace with changing regulations, standards and reports.
AI built into the work
The current site centers on AI built into the environment where data, permissions and workflows already live. Users can run purpose-built agents on common workflows, tailor them or describe a new one. Every output stays traceable, governed and defensible. Workiva reports more than six thousand global company customers.
