Case Study: Orion Engineered Carbons improves SOX compliance visibility and efficiency with Workiva

Orion Engineered Carbons centralizes 120-person SOX compliance program with Workiva

Orion Engineered Carbons faced significant challenges with its SOX compliance program, which relied on inefficient manual processes and disconnected desktop applications. This made it difficult to keep documentation updated and to collaborate effectively with its global team across North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. To address this, the company turned to vendor Workiva and its platform for SOX compliance and internal audit management.

By implementing Workiva's centralized cloud platform, Orion was able to connect all its people, processes, and risk information in one place. This solution provided instant visibility through dashboards and reports, streamlined collaboration with task assignment features, and eliminated version control issues. The results for Orion included significant time savings, which were redirected into deeper analysis of test results, increased transparency across the entire compliance process, and more effective global teamwork. Workiva's platform was also noted for being intuitive and easy to use, requiring minimal training.
