Case Study: Dr Pepper Snapple Group achieves faster, real-time SOX compliance with Workiva

Dr Pepper Snapple Group refreshes SOX compliance in weeks with Workiva

Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) faced significant challenges with its outdated, manual SOX compliance process. The reliance on disconnected Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files led to severe version control issues and made tracking changes across a 2,000-line control spreadsheet a nightmare. To address these inefficiencies, the company turned to vendor Workiva and its platform for a dedicated SOX compliance solution.

Workiva implemented its platform, which provided real-time collaboration, automated change tracking (blacklining), and connected dashboards. This solution delivered substantial time-savings on administrative tasks and report development, giving management real-time status updates instead of information that was weeks old. The implementation was completed in just a few weeks, far faster than anticipated, and streamlined the partnership with external auditors.
