Audit & Internal Controls FAQs.

How can I reduce the cost and manual effort of internal audits?

Workday shifts audit from a reactive, manual document “scavenger hunt” into a continuous, automated state of audit-readiness through automated evidence collection, continuous transaction monitoring, and anomaly detection. Streamlining the gathering of audit evidence reduces both external consulting fees and internal labor time, freeing your team for higher-value work.

What’s the best way to catch control failures before they become compliance issues?

Can I get continuous, real-time auditing instead of periodic spot checks?

Yes. Most financial review relies on periodic, sampling-based testing where only a fraction of transactions are examined, creating a lag between a control violation and its detection. Workday’s always-on auditing tracks system activity at the worker level and triggers alerts for policy conflicts as they happen.

How do I maintain audit trails across a fast-growing or complex organization?

Workday configures security permissions in line with your organization’s segregation-of-duties policies and provides a single source of data for audit sampling, proving transactional integrity across financial events. Customers have increased their automated SOX controls significantly after moving to Workday.
