Why choose Enterprise Control by PwC and Workiva?

Organisations need to rethink their approach to control. A need for greater resilience and agility has been compounded by an evolving regulatory landscape, an imperative to transform and changing stakeholder expectations.

Enterprise Control reimagines compliance-based approaches in favour of insight-driven and data-led strategies that align controls to the interconnected system of governance, risk management, compliance and assurance so that they work together cohesively.

The Workiva technology allows you to develop an end-to-end controls lifecycle, giving confidence that any statement about the efficacy of the control framework has been made based on real-time insights driven from the platform. Workiva connects risk and control information across the entire enterprise, bringing teams together in a cloud platform where they can manage their entire internal controls program from one secure, central location.

And our PwC professionals help you to implement the right control framework. This includes Risk and Control Matrices, process flow charts and narratives, supporting the development of scoping activities, developing test scripts, linking data across the Workiva platform, performing testing on behalf of management, and even creating real-time dashboarding and reports.

Whether you are just starting out on your control journey or going through a transformation that provides the opportunity to take a fresh look at your controls, each organisation will need to adapt its control environment for its unique circumstances. We can support you in the development of a fit-for-purpose governance and control framework that’s right for you.

How we can help

System implementation

Our dedicated, certified team of Workiva implementation partners support the development, implementation and integration of the Workiva platform in line with your business requirements. We bring PwC GRC professionals to help organisations deliver the right outcomes through the best use of technology, given any existing governance and control frameworks in place.

Design and build your governance and control framework

Whether you’re looking to design a governance and control framework from scratch, assess existing frameworks or need help in building a framework into a GRC technology platform, we can support the design and build of all elements of the framework, including integration with your chosen technology platform.

Implement and run your governance

For organisations looking to reduce the cost of running an effective governance and control function, we can outsource the ongoing maintenance and running of your internal control framework. By building your Risk and Control Matrices into a PwC Workiva workspace, we remove the complexity for you, while still allowing access to upload evidence, obtain reports and see real-time updates on the current status of any work.
