Workiva Advances Regulatory Work with AI Innovation

Workiva Inc., a platform provider known for its audit-ready services, unveiled numerous product and platform advancements at its Amplify 2026 conference. One of the highlights was the introduction of Agent Studio, a platform feature that allows users to create, customize, and deploy AI agents within Workiva's trusted environment.

By leveraging AI reasoning alongside the platform's native capabilities and governed workflows, Agent Studio enables the automation of intricate manual business processes without the need for coding.

Julie Iskow, Workiva's CEO, emphasized the significance of Agent Studio in empowering users with the ability to build solutions tailored to their specific needs and company context, while ensuring the security and defensibility of the outcomes.

In addition to Agent Studio, Workiva expanded its regulatory reporting capabilities with the launch of three new agentic solutions. These solutions are designed to handle traditionally manual regulatory disclosures, such as BEA surveys, US Census data, and Country-by-Country Reporting. By integrating these agentic solutions into its platform, Workiva aims to simplify and streamline the process of managing a wider array of regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, Workiva introduced Automated Testing for Internal Audit and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) purposes. This agentic solution enhances testing efficiency while maintaining consistency, traceability, and governance. By orchestrating evidence, attribute, and testing agents, the system replaces manual evidence collection, sample selection, attribute testing, and documentation with a unified workflow that offers comprehensive traceability at every stage.

This advancement enables organizations to scale testing capacity without proportionally increasing manual effort.

These innovations underscore Workiva's commitment to providing a secure, audit-ready platform that facilitates the transformation of finance, accounting, sustainability, risk, and audit teams. By integrating AI into these processes, Workiva enables organizations to focus on higher-value tasks, such as interpretation and risk management, while ensuring that the technology is trusted and adopted effectively.
