Case Study: Westcoast achieves faster financial reporting and formalised controls with Workiva

Multinational Westcoast Updates Their Financial Reporting and Controls Process With Workiva

Westcoast Group, a multinational IT distributor across the UK and Europe, experienced rapid growth that outpaced its financial reporting and controls. Multi-entity reporting was hindered by version-control issues, poor collaboration and a manual, non-consolidated risk and controls matrix.

Westcoast implemented Workiva—first for financial reporting, then expanded to governance, risk and controls—to centralize and interlink information. The platform improved collaboration, saved significant time, reduced costs and missed deadlines, gave external auditors greater confidence, and formalized traceable controls and consolidated ERM, risk and audit documentation.
