WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2025--

Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK), the world’s leading AI-powered platform for transparency, accountability, and trust, announced today at Amplify a major expansion of its intelligent platform, introducing agentic AI, unified data automation, and a modernized controls experience for the Office of the CFO. The new capabilities allow finance, GRC, and sustainability teams to streamline complex workflows, proactively manage risk, and deliver insights with speed and confidence.

Economic volatility, evolving regulations, and increasing complexity have left CFOs and their teams burdened by manual processes and siloed systems. In fact, nearly two-thirds of global practitioners say they lack the high-quality data and governance needed to manage these challenges, a gap that leaves organizations vulnerable to costly errors and missed performance opportunities.

Workiva’s latest innovations were built to meet this moment, embedding agentic AI directly into critical workflows, automating processes that slow teams down, and giving them continuous, connected insights in a secure, auditable platform.

“CFOs are responsible for more than ever before, and that responsibility demands technology that is specialized, secure, and built for high-stakes decisions,” said David Haila, Chief Technology Officer, Workiva. “We’re delivering that support through agentic AI, connected data, and controls you can trust.”
