1099 & Contractor Reporting for Internal Audit Managers with Workiva
Run 1099 & contractor reporting on autopilot inside Workiva.
The Problem
January 31 1099 deadlines catch every Internal Audit firm off-guard — W-9s are missing, vendor records are inconsistent, and e-file rejections cascade.
What We Build in Workiva
AI identifies 1099-eligible vendors from AuditBoard, chases missing W-9s, prepares 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC filings, and submits to the IRS — January 31 becomes a non-event. Purpose-built for teams running Workiva — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
