Case Study: Hecla Mining Company achieves three-day certification and faster sign-offs with Workiva

Hecla Mining Company - Customer Case Study

Hecla Mining Company faced a tight deadline when Executive Assistant Cheryl Turner had just three days to complete a 10‑Q certification that normally took a week and involved 24 people across three countries. The compressed timeline and distributed signatories made the manual, paper‑based process impractical.

Using Certification powered by Wdesk, Turner quickly updated templates, distributed sub‑certifications, and tracked sign‑offs; recipients reviewed and e‑signed online from anywhere, added routed comments, and received automated reminders. The cloud‑based workflow cut Turner’s processing time from hours to about 30 minutes, enabled completion of the certification in three days, and gave the controller and CFO greater confidence and fewer obstacles in the process.
