Case Study: DePaul University achieves a proactive, data-driven risk function with Workiva

DePaul University saves time and matures risk management with Workiva

DePaul University faced a challenge with its fragmented risk management functions, which operated in silos using manual tools like Microsoft Word and Excel. This disjointed approach made it difficult to coordinate efforts and gain a clear, enterprise-wide view of risk. To address this, the university sought a centralized system and implemented the Workiva platform for enterprise risk management.

By using the Workiva platform to unify its internal audit, compliance, and ERM processes, DePaul University achieved notable efficiencies. The solution streamlined workflows, improved consistency, and enabled a more proactive, data-driven approach to risk through key risk indicator monitoring. Workiva helped the university mature its risk program and create a more collaborative and resilient operational model.
