Budget vs. Actuals Review for Internal Audit Managers with Workiva

Workiva Internal Audit Manager Internal Audit

The Problem

Monthly Internal Audit BvA review is a ritual: open 12 tabs in AuditBoard, copy into Excel, highlight variances, guess at causes.

What We Build in Workiva

AI builds the BvA view directly from AuditBoard, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.' 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 enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
