"https://robertkugel.isg-research.net/workiva-simplifies-esg-reporting", "datePublished": "28/12/2022", "dateModified": "28/12/2022", "articleBody": "Workiva offers an environmental, social and governance application that enables organizations to manage the highly distributed tasks necessary for reporting to regulators and stakeholders on ESG matters. ESG issues have grown increasingly pressing over the past few years as investors and government entities urge organizations to measure and disclose relevant metrics. I’ve already covered the broader topic as it relates to external reporting and how financial planning and analysis groups are likely to own this mandate going forward. I’ve also addressed the data strategy that finance organizations should adopt to meet regulatory compliance requirements. Notably, I assert that by 2025, more than one-half of corporations required to comply with ESG reporting will centralize responsibility for preparing reports and filings with financial planning and analysis to achieve accuracy, control and efficiency objectives. Sensitivity to ESG issues has grown over the past decade. Efforts by organizations to objectively and consistently quantify the non-monetary impacts on society are not new, but their urgency has grown, especially as some organizations have published numbers that have been questioned and characterized as greenwashing. Regulatory reporting requirements are expanding in multiple jurisdictions, including the European Union related to its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the United Kingdom’s climate-related financial disclosures and similar requirements in New Zealand. Environmental reporting requirements are also under consideration in the U.S. and Canada. Organizations face multiple challenges with respect to ESG reporting, some of which are similar to those posed by all forms of regulatory reporting. There are three main differences between ESG and financial reporting: While accounting practices and standards evolved over centuries, regulatory requirements are not well-established and are likely to evolve rapidly in coming years. Moreover, double-entry bookkeeping recorded entirely in financial terms simplifies auditing and testing the validity of presentations in the context of those accounting standards. This is far more difficult for ESG. The data necessary for producing ESG metrics must be taken from a wide range of systems and sources, and these are likely to grow more complex as regulations evolve. There are multiple frameworks and approaches to analyzing and summarizing the data used in ESG reporting depending on the regulatory authority or the information that the organization wants to convey. However, like financial reporting, organizations must be able to manage the complex processes associated with gathering data, employing frameworks and creating narratives as well as editing, reviewing and approving final reports. Reporting may involve dozens of individuals across multiple locations, with a specific structure and formatting required for each jurisdiction’s regulatory report. The process is ongoing, so the ability to automate repetitive tasks and reduce or eliminate the need for consistency checks is essential. Accuracy and auditability must be assured, which means that data used for all reporting must be traceable to an authoritative source and data transformations must be highly controlled. Workiva’s platform helps organizations address ESG-specific challenges as well as those that apply broadly to regulatory and financial disclosures. Its framework explorer enables organizations to compare requirements across multiple frameworks, such as those created by the Global Reporting Initiative (referred to as GRI), Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (or SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (or TCFD), making it easier for those preparing reports to have the very latest versions of these frameworks to ensure accuracy and consistency. Workiva pioneered the platform-specific data store, Wdata, which enables organizations to connect its ESG reporting directly to authoritative systems of record, saving considerable time compared to manually collecting and collating data. Our Analytics and Data Benchmark Research found that two-thirds of analysts spend a considerable amount of time on data preparation and reviewing data for quality and consistency issues, so addressing this issue with proven technology substantially enhances the productivity of the department. The system also enables the collection of data from more loosely structured sources, such as records kept in controlled spreadsheets or filings related to employment, health and safety. This level of data control promotes auditability and ensures consistency. Like statutory financial disclosures, ESG reporting benefits from workflow management that ensures work is performed in a timely fashion as well as reviewed and approved to support good governance. Workflows also reduce administrative overhead as those responsible can manage task completion by exception and receive immediate notification when processes fall behind. ESG reports are an assemblage of text, tables, charts and illustrations which almost always must conform to statutory requirements, to corporate style guides or both. Being able to control these aspects of reporting ensures consistency and conformity to requirements. Automated features, such as “roll forward” updating of periodic reports and ensuring that data points cited in multiple locations, tables and charts always agree increases productivity and promotes accuracy and consistency. Workiva also provides multiple formats for creating reports and deliverables. Managing sustainability and ESG requires reporting that supports complex topics confronting senior executives, especially given the degree of uncertainty around pending legal and regulatory requirements as well as related internal objectives, methods and frameworks for assessing these non-financial elements of a company’s performance. FP&A groups need a strategy to enable their organization to meet ESG reporting needs, especially in managing the process of devolving objectives across the organization.

It’s a pantry because all the data one needs is readily available and easily accessible, with labels that are immediately recognized and understood by the users of the application. In tech speak, this means the semantic layer is optimized for the intended audience. It is stocked with data gathered from multiple sources and immediately available for analysis, forecasting, planning and reporting. This does away with the need for analysts to repeatedly perform data extraction, enrichment or transformation motions from the required source systems, all but eliminating the substantial amount of time analysts and business users routinely spend on data preparation. Automating data transformation also makes it practical to expand the scope of available data by removing the time constraint. Freeing up time and broadening accessible sources of data enables analysts and other business users to focus on creating useful, insightful, complete and timely analysis, insights and reports. Many software vendors already have taken steps in this direction without expressly calling the objective a data pantry. Ventana Research asserts that by 2026, almost all business-focused software vendors will offer a data pantry to facilitate the integration of operational and financial data, making a broader set of actionable information available to support data-driven decision-making. The data pantry is consistent with the concept of the data fabric, a design approach to data platform architecture that embraces the now-practical opportunity to marshal data from across an enterprise to serve a specific domain and enable the self-service use of that data. Data fabric deals with the technology to make this possible, while the data pantry is an outside-in approach that defines what the users in that domain require. My colleague, Matt Aslett, provides a concise explanation of these terms, which you can find here. The data pantry is different in concept and construction from other data stores, most significantly in optimizing the semantic layer for a specific set of users or business domain to reduce or eliminate the ambiguity that can exist with functional but cryptic metadata. The dataset is curated for the users, domain and use cases, making it easier to navigate and therefore readily available for analysts and others to do useful work. It’s not a warehouse where users in effect wander the aisles looking floor to ceiling to spot what they need, or a lake that brings to mind the phrase “boil the ocean” to extract what’s needed. Data warehouses and data lakes have their uses, but today it’s not an either-or situation. All are necessary. And a data pantry isn’t like older forms of more defined data stores, like data marts or financial data warehouses. First, because the scope of data available is broader, which includes operational and external data, and second, and second, in programming how the data moves directly from each single authoritative system of record to the point of consumption by analysts and business users. Data for the pantry can be taken from one or more data sources that might exist in multiple forms, including, for example, SQL databases, Snowflake or a cloud-based streaming service. Ideally, data is collected from the original authoritative source — the system where the initial entry or record was made — to ensure fidelity and consistency of related datasets. For example, data would be extracted from the customer relationship management application or ERP system where a transaction or record was made, or from each of these multiple systems that an organization that might be in use. Other common sources might include manufacturing execution systems, supply chain management or human capital management software, or any other application that an organization might be using relevant to the intended use cases. Data also may be taken from external sources such as third-party proprietary data providers and from data lakes, especially if they are the destination for streaming data from internal or external sources. In some cases, already aggregated sources may be the best choice for reasons of speed or economy. However, while this can be an expedient choice, it also might cause future consistency or other issues. The data transformation steps from source to pantry are conventional, with data from sources continually extracted, enriched and, where necessary, transformed as needed to create a highly normalized set. Movement is orchestrated using application programming interfaces (APIs) or Robotic Process Automation, never manually. This wave-the-magic-wand description is not intended to minimize the considerable work that is required and the complexities that might be encountered in making this happen, as well as the ongoing maintenance required to stock a pantry for evolving business needs, including additions, changes and subtractions of data sources. However, this effort measured in person-hours pales in comparison to the time saved and the considerable increase in effectiveness achieved in eliminating the need for analysts to wrangle the data every time they need it. A key feature of the data pantry is that it presents itself to the user as if it were a single, logical source. However, the data might be held in multiple types of data structures (such as SQL tables, a data cloud and a data lake) that are part of the business-focused application or platform. In this respect, the important distinction between the data pantry and other data architectures is that it is primarily designed and organized for the user of the data to facilitate analysis, forecasting, planning and reporting by eliminating the need to perform data preparation, data validation and data quality steps. The data pantry addresses long-standing issues that routinely sap the productivity of finance and business analysts and other users of business data. Our Analytics and Data Benchmark Research finds that 69% of organizations say preparing data is one of the most time-consuming aspects of analyzing data along with 64% that say reviewing data for quality and consistency is also an issue. The data pantry is also essential for supporting artificial intelligence using machine learning (AI/ML) systems used for predictive and prescriptive analytics or for any sort of forecasting and planning based on time-series analysis. The goal of AI in this instance is to reduce bias and increase accuracy and consistency to make better business decisions. For these purposes, ML assists by identifying the most useful statistical relationships in a dataset for review. AI can perform this step faster and more accurately than most humans, and it must do this on a continuous basis so statistical models always reflect the most recent experiences and conditions. In an earlier Analyst Perspective, I described how a data pantry facilitates machine learning by making it possible to amalgamate a broad set of information from many different sources to create more realistic and statistically relevant models to produce more accurate forecasts that support planning and decision-making. For business management purposes, drawing on a combination of financial, operational and external data enhances the ability of a ML system to identify meaningful correlations. This can prevent the creation of spurious models that are built on correlations that omit variables which have a significant explanatory power. A silly example of this is the apparent close connection between cheese consumption and civil engineering PhD awards. Except in the case of relatively simple models, it is necessary to have a data pantry as part of an application or platform so that the large volume of operations necessary for ongoing training can be completed within time constraints. Software that uses ML must also monitor the health of the models it creates, to ensure that when the quality of forecasts degrade past a certain point, repairs can be made, or new models can be created. A data pantry architecture is necessary for performing this process of continuous assessments, because ongoing data calls from an application to a plethora of data sources would introduce latencies in ML processes that can undermine the quality of the predictions and forecasts. I expect that business application software vendors will increasingly offer data pantries as an integral part of their platform or application. The pantry has the potential to significantly transform the work that business analysts do, especially those in financial planning and analysis. It will be an essential ingredient to make AI/ML a useful reality in business software. Although the concept is simple, the devil is in the details. Organizations should begin to anticipate how best to utilize data pantries, because they have the potential to substantially change what’s possible. At the same time, they must be able to separate the claims from vendors that are real from those that are sort-of real to be certain that the software will deliver what’s promised.

The pandemic and resulting support of remote work set the stage for a transformation of how accounting efforts are structured and performed, all for the better. Remote audits that became routine during lockdowns are evolving into virtual ones, where auditors take full advantage of advanced software to achieve dependably higher audit quality with less effort, while improving working conditions for auditors and staff accountants. Although discussions I’ve had with practitioners over the past two years indicate that organizations are using this approach to some extent, widespread use has become practical only recently. The virtual approach benefits audit firms by substantially increasing efficiency and improving the ability to hire and retain staff by offering better working conditions (spending less time on the road, for example). Organizations that require financial audits achieve similar benefits because staff time devoted to the audit is minimized. And because, in many cases, a virtual audit can enable full testing rather than sampling, it results in higher quality audits and financial statements at potentially lower costs. Ventana Research asserts that by 2025, more than one-half of organizations will adopt some form of a virtual audit. A virtual audit differs from the remote version by providing the audit firm’s team with remote access to all necessary systems, such as general ledgers, the consolidation application and close management software. Read-only permission prevents access to non-essential and confidential information. Many software vendors offer this approach. An organization’s risk management software can fully document audit analysis reviews and sign-offs to mitigate fraud, ensure separation of duties and prevent access violations. Such an approach can demonstrate to external auditors that systems are in place to monitor security and manage access workflows. Today, technology that reduces the need for on-site examinations is common, including remote teleconferencing, collaborative document sharing across and between organizations and shared data repositories. An “open book” approach eliminates the need for extensive provided-by-client documentation because the auditor accesses the systems directly, saving the accounting staff time and enabling the auditor to do more complete testing. Rather than spending a week or two on-site, the audit team can limit its physical presence to manage what cannot be achieved virtually. People spend less time away from home, and ancillary costs are lower. Technology can cut the accounting staff’s audit-related workloads and reduce disruptions that impact productivity. It can also cut the time needed to complete the process, and enable an organization to reduce fees to best-in-class levels. The virtual audit structure also enables a continuous audit, where tests and tasks are spread out over a fiscal year to better balance the need for resources, avoiding period-end spikes. Audit firms are already doing this to some extent, but remote access broadens the scope of how testing and review calendars are structured to better level workloads over a year. While the enterprise resource planning or financial management system is the primary focus of the audit process, a close automation system can be helpful. For the audit itself, software electronically manages the paper trail related to the close, including file attachments, review notes, sign-offs and comments. All documents related to the close are organized and stored electronically, searchable and easily accessed remotely. The software provides evidence of strong accounting controls. Beyond the audit benefits, close automation software boosts staff productivity, potentially enabling organizations to shorten the close, reduce risk and make the process more efficient. Our Office of Finance Benchmark Research demonstrates the link between using automation in the accounting close and the ability to close sooner. A large majority (88%) of organizations that have automated substantially all closing processes are able to complete the quarterly close in six business days or less, compared to 59% that have automated some parts and 40% that have little or no automation in the close. Although information technology has been at work keeping the books of organizations since the 1950s, until recently it was incapable of making fundamental changes because systems were really nothing more than a digital iteration of centuries-old analog methods. The accounting close is a case in point. With paper-based journals and ledgers, the most efficient way of managing the books while ensuring financial control was to have a monthly routine of “balancing the books,” and a more extensive and detailed quarterly or semi-annual process. In those days, taking staff accountants offline daily or weekly to do all of the adding, allocating, reconciling, ticking and tying would be monumentally inefficient, with limited benefit to the quality of financial statements or to management’s understanding of organizational performance. For decades, digital systems were incapable of transformation because technology limitations forced accounting software to operate in batch mode, and most of what improved were transaction speed, scalability and system downtime. As a rule, accountants and financial executives are oblivious to technology. Our Office of Finance Benchmark Research shows that only 12% of organizations are at the highest level of technology competence, while half are at the lowest level. The virtual audit benefits both sides, so auditors should be geared up for it, while organizations should take steps to make this possible. The easiest way to start is by determining if an “auditor” license is available for existing systems, and where there are opportunities to replace manual systems with software that can be checked remotely. The payback for such investments isn’t likely to result in reduced audit fees (unless the organization’s accounting is a mess and fees are therefore at the high end of the range), but it can significantly improve the productivity of the accounting staff and improve the quality of life for all involved, requiring less time on the road and less stress for busy accountants operating on a deadline.

Today, technology has the ability to significantly increase the efficiency with which organizations handle expenditures while simultaneously containing costs, increasing controls and improving visibility into where the money is going. This is part of a broader trend toward digitizing outlays: I assert that by 2025, more than two-thirds of organizations will be using spend management software and corporate cards to achieve greater control and increased efficiency. Emburse’s applications can improve accounting department efficiency while reducing administrative burdens for workers. Executives, workers and finance and accounting departments often devote a considerable amount of time managing and controlling expenses — especially for travel and worker spend — when they could be using software to streamline these processes. Using its applications, they also can access the current state of their expenses and budgets wherever they are, receive timely alerts when situations needing their attention arise, and dig into the details of every transaction for clarity and control. Using software to manage this part of the finance department can provide a rapid payback and is a relatively easy way for organizations to use technology effectively. Finance and accounting departments notably lag in their use of technology: our Office of Finance Benchmark Research finds that 45% of midsize and larger organizations operate at the lowest level of technology competence while just 12% are innovative. Accounts payable is a function ripe for technology-driven innovation. Automation applied to invoices can substantially increase staff productivity. Another often-overlooked benefit from reducing cycle times in payables is that organizations can achieve a higher return on available cash by taking advantage of early-payment discounts where savings can be a multiple of what’s earned on cash balances or even short-term borrowing costs. Managing paper receipts should be consigned to the dustbin of history given that anyone with a smartphone can record an image of the receipt, and Emburse’s software captures the merchant, date and amount to create an expense line item without requiring a keystroke. Another way Emburse helps is through its corporate card offerings, which provide greater flexibility and efficiency in how payments are handled. Physical cards can be programmed to limit purchases to specific categories, apply per-diem caps or be suspended when the worker fails to comply with policies, including providing valid receipts. Virtual cards can have pre-approvals baked in and are well-suited for one-time or recurring payments. Some can be established for a specific event, such as a trade show or marketing program. Increasingly, auto-categorization makes it possible to immediately classify expenditures and, along with paperless receipt submission, cut down on time spent by the accounting staff and accelerate the accounting close. I’ve covered the topic of corporate spend in a previous research note. It usually refers to the incidental but still significant outlays organizations make to support operations. Especially in nonmanufacturing industries, purchases of indirect goods and business services — such as computers, office supplies, furniture and graphic design — as well as travel and entertainment can represent a significant percentage of total costs. Spend management software is no longer just a tool to record employee expense reports, manage approvals and process requests for reimbursement. Beyond streamlining processes, it provides managers immediate visibility into actual spending and trends as well as better service to employees through a modern, consumer-friendly interface that makes it much easier for them to prepare and document expense reports. Emburse's spend management software also makes it easier for workers to comply with policies, can reduce duplicate or wasteful spending and substantially reduce maverick spending by concentrating purchases with preferred vendors, thereby helping to achieve cost savings through negotiated volume discounts. Centralizing indirect procurement in one application that records all purchases makes it easier to hold suppliers accountable to volume discount agreements. Moreover, having a single system for expense management and financials can improve the finance department’s strategic potential by streamlining the accounting and reimbursement processes. Such software cuts the time and effort the accounts payable department spends on processes that rely on paper and desktop spreadsheets. It also should provide the finance department with increased accuracy, visibility and control of these expenses. Executives and managers should be able to closely track outlays, especially if the organization’s system provides comprehensive, up-to-the-minute information about the expenses. Spend management software shouldn’t just automate; it should streamline your employee spend processes. It shouldn’t just collect data; it should provide actionable information. Technology has evolved to the point where executives — especially the chief financial officer — need to take an overarching approach to corporate spend that utilizes technology to tighten controls, deepen visibility into expenditures, increase productivity and reduce process frictions. Spend management software and corporate spend cards — either physical or virtual — offer a means of achieving spend management objectives.

Tax codes are often complex, so tax accounting as well as the data required for tax provisions and tax compliance are different enough from statutory accounting to create significant workloads for the tax department. The provision for income tax expense and, for public companies, the assembly of information related to tax-related disclosures, can be a factor holding up the completion of the accounting close. The broad consensus holds that organizations should complete the quarterly close within one business week, yet our Smart Close Dynamic Insights research found that just 39% achieve this objective. Shortening the tax provision process by using software designed for this purpose can be a factor in closing the books sooner. The need for tax provision software has grown over the past decade as statutory accounting and tax authority reporting requirements have become more demanding. Today there are more rigorous requirements for accounting for uncertain tax provisions. Tax authorities are demanding greater tax transparency, especially on the part of multinational organizations. In response, corporate boards and senior executives are demanding greater visibility into tax provision to oversee the process more closely and plan more effectively to minimize tax expense and exposures while mitigating tax risks. This is especially true for publicly held companies. Our Office of Finance Benchmark Research revealed that 52% of public corporations actively manage tax strategies, compared to 29% of closely held organizations. The tax provision process, an essential part of the close process, is a core responsibility of tax departments. This process estimates the amount of income tax an organization will have to pay to tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax accountants derive the number by adjusting the reported net income with a variety of permanent differences, such as expenses that are not deductible, and temporary differences – for example using allowable accelerated depreciation for tax purposes and straight-line depreciation for financial reporting. Historically, spreadsheets were the tool of choice for tax provision because, until recently, technology limitations meant that tax accountants did not have an alternative. Despite the growing availability of alternatives, spreadsheets are still popular: Our Office of Finance Benchmark Research found that 59% of tax departments use spreadsheets exclusively for tax provision, while just 22% utilize a third-party tax application. Ventana Research asserts that by 2026, four in 10 organizations will use a dedicated third-party tax provision software. Spreadsheets are a major barrier to making the tax function more productive and effective. One well-known issue with spreadsheets is that they are error-prone, which is not a risk that tax professionals should have to bear. To be certain that tax provision and other tax-related calculations are correct, individuals must double- and even triple-check the numbers. This overlaps with a second major issue with spreadsheets: They are time-consuming. Our spreadsheet research finds that those working heavily with spreadsheets spend on average 18 hours a month (the equivalent of more than two full workdays) just maintaining their most important spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are so time-consuming that they prevent individuals from doing more valuable work – in this case, tax analysis and planning. Beyond delaying the accounting close, another spreadsheet-related issue is that they diminish visibility into an organization’s tax provision and tax positions. Using spreadsheets takes so long that executives get to the numbers late in the financial close process. This matters because of the impact that tax expense has on profits. In addition, spreadsheets are black boxes: That is, they are difficult to control, and it’s difficult for anyone other than the spreadsheet’s owner to understand their construction. Often, assumptions are buried in formulas and hard to uncover. It’s not well-understood whether formulas are inconsistent or wrong, and it’s not easy to spot them. Even with advanced spreadsheet management techniques designed to make updates consistent (such as applying the LAMBDA function in Excel), it’s hard to be certain that some cell wasn’t overwritten with another number. Using a dedicated tax application enables tax and accounting departments to operate more effectively. It enables the whole department to manage a consistent set of tax-sensitive data in a controlled process that promotes accuracy and auditability. Software promotes data integrity and efficiency by managing provision as an end-to-end process that takes numbers directly from authoritative source systems to construct tax financial statements, calculates taxes owed and keeps track of cumulative amounts and other balance sheet items related to taxes. Having tax data and tax calculations that are immediately traceable, reproducible and permanently accessible provides executives with greater certainty and reduces the risk of noncompliance as well as attendant costs and reputation issues. Maintaining an accurate and consistent tax data store enables organizations and tax departments to better execute tax planning, provisioning and compliance. I maintain that the best career decision that tax professionals can make is to embrace technology that allows them to be more productive and enables them to spend more time on work that fully utilizes their training and experience. Information technologies, especially artificial intelligence and other forms of cognitive computing, will transform how tax professionals work, driving a fundamental change in what they do. Their real value is not their ability to overcome spreadsheet limitations, but their training in understanding income taxes. Once freed from the drudgery of performing computations, massaging data and checking (two or three times) for errors, tax professionals can turn their attention to performing analytical work aimed at optimizing an organization’s tax spend – and thus ensuring their value as workers. I recommend that midsize and larger organizations – especially those that operate in multiple tax jurisdictions and have an even moderately complex legal entity structure – use dedicated software to automate income tax provision and analysis functions. Organizations that take more than a business week to close the books should assess whether streamlining tax provisions would have a positive impact. Beyond that, using dedicated software rather than relying on spreadsheets helps the tax department, and those working in it, increase strategic value so they won’t be obsolete tomorrow.
