Case Study: The Kraft Heinz Company achieves standardized multi-entity statutory reporting with Workiva

Establishing standardized multi-entity reporting processes for The Kraft Heinz Company

The Kraft Heinz Company, with 187 entities outside the U.S., faced slow, manual annual statutory reporting that produced inconsistent formats and notes across local reports, made reviews difficult for controllers and VPs, and required cumbersome translation for non‑English territories. Preparing reports meant juggling multiple spreadsheets and documents, repetitive copy‑and‑pasting, and heavy rework to assure accuracy and compliance.

By adopting the Workiva platform, Kraft Heinz standardized templates and linked data across reports, enabled built‑in translation for faster cross‑territory review, and simplified XBRL tagging for regulatory filings. The result: faster, more consistent reporting and easier management review—interim reporting that once took days now rolls forward in just two to three hours—improved data confidence, and better collaboration across global teams.
