## The Problem

Every Internal Audit month-end runs on a checklist in AuditBoard that lives in someone's head — and when that person is out, close slips and reviewers have no visibility into what's done vs. waiting.

## What We Build in Workiva

AI runs the close checklist, prompts owners for missing items, flags JE variances over threshold, and writes the close memo — close window compresses from 10 business days to 4. Purpose-built for teams running Workiva — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Workiva Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Workiva configuration.** We map the specific Workiva objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your internal audit practice.
2. **Build on the Workiva API or agent.** Integration happens inside Workiva — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Workiva with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
