2. Magnify Your Impact: How StoneX Uses the Workiva Platform to Build Trust and Transparency

If one of your audit team’s biggest challenges is keeping everyone on the same page—from executive leadership to external auditors—then you’re going to want to join three audit and risk super users from StoneX Group Inc. Join Tayler Kuhn, Global Head of IT Audit, Jeanne Cline, Director, Internal Audit, and Jack Nelson, IT Analyst, to hear about how they’re using the Workiva platform to enhance collaboration and build trust. They’ll share best practices for getting stakeholders more involved and how they’ve found success using the platform to communicate key information in a way that is meaningful.

3. Audit’s ESG Journey

With an increasingly complex regulatory environment and the need to ensure ESG data integrity, internal auditors have an opportunity to make an impact and help guide their organizations through the complex ESG landscape. Join internal audit leaders, including our own Head of Internal Audit, Ruth Nouanesengsy, Bob Moderick, Head of Internal Audit at Patrick Industries, and Keri Tracy, Vice President, Operational Excellence and SOX at Newell Brands, as they discuss the common challenges they’ve faced along the path to ESG assurance, ways to overcome these obstacles, and the importance of building strong relationships with ESG stakeholders.

Explore how you can make your data management and reporting more effective in the Workiva platform! Mike Callino, Senior Director of Internal Audit at Braze, and other audit leaders will walk through how they use the Workiva platform to transform data into powerful insights that can be used to guide the business and accelerate report development.
