Workiva’s Amplify event to cover AI governance: Join theCUBE

As companies entrust more responsibility to artificial intelligence, managing governance and regulatory reporting becomes even more essential.

Workiva Inc.’s platform provides AI-powered collaboration tools for streamlining financial reporting, governance and sustainability management. The company emphasizes data security and privacy while helping customers automate time-consuming tasks.

“Workiva sits at an important intersection of enterprise data, business context, controls and accountability,” said Krista Case, principal analyst and practice lead of cybersecurity and cyber resilience at theCUBE Research. “As AI moves from recommending actions to taking them, enterprises will need trusted context and clear guardrails around what AI is allowed to do. That creates an opportunity for Workiva to become an important control point between AI-driven decision-making and the governed business processes where those decisions are executed.”

Workiva’s Amplify 2026 event will feature insights from leaders in accounting, finance, regulatory compliance and sustainability, with coverage by theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s livestreaming studio, from Sept. 15–16. Tune in to hear experts discuss how Workiva is harnessing AI to automate governance and financial reporting for organizations. (* Disclosure below.)

How AI is reshaping governance

The industry is shifting from using AI as a supporting tool to giving agents the power to make decisions. Workiva acts as a conduit, educating users on how to employ AI agents in their decision-making processes and giving them the ability to develop their own AI tools.

“I expect a major theme at Amplify to be the shift from AI-enabled to AI-native,” Case said. “That means moving beyond using AI to make existing tasks faster and instead redesigning workflows around what AI makes possible. For finance, sustainability and GRC [governance, risk and compliance], that transformation also has to be grounded in trusted data, traceability and governance. The opportunity is to move faster without sacrificing confidence or accountability.”

Workiva reported a strong second quarter, with total revenue increasing 19% year over year and exceeding the high end of its revenue guidance. It also launched three specialized agents in July, with the intention of alleviating the labor-intensive work that goes into cross-referencing and assessing data. Workiva Knowledge is an intelligence layer that grounds agent interactions in an organization’s data, instructions and content.

“AI can reduce the coordination work that happens before a decision is made, from gathering information and reconciling different versions of the truth to identifying what actually requires human judgment,” Case said. “But confidence in an AI answer is not the same as confidence in the information behind it. In finance, sustainability and GRC, provenance, controls and human accountability become even more important as AI plays a larger role in decision-making.”
