  • 1.  AuditBoard vs. Workiva - SOX Tool

    Posted 10-07-2024 06:37 PM

    I am assessing implementing a SOX tool was wondering if there are people with recent experience with the SOX tool of Workiva and how that compares to AuditBoard. I have used AuditBoard before and it met most of my requirements. Curious on whether Workiva has caught up with Auditboard or is their tool still clunky? Any feedback is appreciated.

    We're nearing the end of our first 3 year contract with Workiva and feel like they've made great strides in that time (with more improvements on the horizon).  We demoed Auditboard a few weeks ago in an effort to do a bit of due diligence prior to renewing our Workiva contract.  My thoughts are:

    • We didn't see enough difference to warrant a switch to Auditboard.
    • We like data linking better in Workiva (copy/paste vs. a keyed syntax)
    • Auditboard does a few things that I like better, like being able to link to other workpapers in testing markup and maybe more intuitive navigation.

    Speaking strictly SOX, my personal opinion is that the two tools are pretty comparable.
