Payroll Variance & Exception Review for Internal Audit Managers with Workiva
The Problem
For Internal Audit teams, payroll runs through AuditBoard include silent errors — wrong pay rates, missing PTO deductions, duplicate bonuses — that only surface when an employee complains.
What We Build in Workiva
AI diffs each payroll run against the prior period, flags any variance over 5% or unusual one-time items, and holds them for approval — payroll errors caught pre-run, not post-deposit. Purpose-built for teams running Workiva — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Workiva Integration Approach
Audit your Workiva configuration
We map the specific Workiva objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your internal audit practice.
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.
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.
