In 2025, GEO's Internal Audit Department launched Workiva, a cloud-based platform designed to modernize the audit process and enhance efficiency. Through its collaborative workspace, Workiva enables auditors and clients to interact by consolidating workflow and communications in a single location, thereby reducing the overall cost of compliance.
Feedback from clients across GEO consistently highlights the platform's user-friendly design and the advantage of having greater control over the audit process by clearly tracking requests and managing evidence in a centralized location. Additional benefits include a reduction in manual processes and administrative efforts, minimizing disruption to their operations.
Our decision to adopt Workiva was driven by a mandate from executive management to modernize audit operations and lay the groundwork for future analytics and automation opportunities. Workiva's secure and scalable environment allows us to maintain compliance while remaining agile in response to evolving regulatory demands. This transformation strengthens the internal audit function and reinforces our organization's overall governance framework.
With the program now firmly established, the department is excited to further expand the use of Workiva's capabilities in 2026 and extend adoption throughout the organization.
