Workiva commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic ImpactTM study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Wdesk for Controls Management. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Wdesk on their organizations and how Wdesk can be leveraged to optimize the processes necessary to deliver Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance. This financial summary finds a 238% three-year, risk-adjusted ROI for a large auto parts retailer. Key outcomes include reduced the effort required to formulate and update processes and controls for SOX compliance resulting in a three-year benefit of $190,568, and simplified audit efforts with improved audit trails in financial controls, delivering three-year present value benefits of $128,965.
