Case Study: NXP Semiconductors achieves connected, single-source financial reporting and faster SOX compliance with Workiva

NXP Connects Global Back Office to Company Mission

NXP Semiconductors, a global maker of secure connectivity products, faced fragmented back‑office processes: SEC filings were built from manually checked Word documents with embedded Excel tables, and SOX compliance ran on an inflexible third‑party system. The disconnected tools created version‑control problems, extra hours across time zones, and a heavy administrative burden for global teams.

NXP adopted the Workiva platform for SEC reporting and SOX management, creating a single source of truth with real‑time data access, linked source data, audit trails, and in‑platform collaboration. The change sped up certifications (typically 70–80 requests per quarter), reduced version issues and after‑hours work, improved auditor collaboration and trust in risk reporting, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value analysis.
