Case Study: RYAM achieves streamlined SOX processes and real-time visibility with Workiva

RYAM Switches to Workiva to Transform SOX Processes

RYAM, a company with more than 2,500 employees and operations across several countries, had a small internal audit team of six that was hampered by inefficient SOX and audit processes. Their previous software lacked visibility and adequate reporting, forcing the team to rely on Excel, Word, and multiple storage locations to manage testing and track status, which created extra work and confusion.

RYAM adopted Workiva—recommended by their financial reporting team—to centralize and secure collaboration with internal stakeholders and external auditors. The platform provided a single source of truth and customizable real-time dashboards, resulting in saved time, increased accuracy, and improved stakeholder visibility; the team also praised Workiva’s support and plans to expand into certification and continuous monitoring.
