Case Study: Kubota achieves global audit efficiency and real-time oversight with Workiva

Kubota saves 7–8 hours per audit with Workiva

Kubota, a global leader in agricultural and construction machinery, faced challenges with fragmented and manual audit processes across its international operations. This complexity created inconsistencies, slowed down teams, and prevented headquarters from having real-time visibility into global audit progress. To address this, Kubota implemented the Workiva platform to standardize its global audit operations and improve governance.

By deploying Workiva’s internal audit management solution, Kubota established a centralized platform for collaboration, progress tracking, and documentation. This implementation saved an estimated 7-8 hours per audit in Europe, eliminated version confusion, and provided real-time visibility for leadership. The results included dramatically improved accuracy, traceability, and audit quality, allowing auditors to shift from manual tasks to higher-value analytical work.
