Workiva is a powerful tool we use with our reporting clients here at Black Sun Global. It is a cloud-based platform that makes it easy for organisations to manage data across their corporate reports - streamlining processes, connecting teams and ensuring consistency and transparency, in a controlled, secure environment. Many large companies worldwide, including most of the Fortune 500, rely on Workiva for smooth, compliant, and hassle-free financial and ESG reporting.
Black Sun Global is an Enhanced Design Partner of Workiva, an exclusive community of top-tier agencies that use the technology to design, manage, and publish their clients’ corporate reports.
The two-day event brought together hundreds of professionals to provide them with an overview of the latest features of the platform. Attendees also got insights from top industry experts on current reporting trends, including regulatory frameworks like CSRD and TCFD, the evolution of annual reporting, new technology, and more.
This year’s “Unite to Ignite” theme emphasised collaboration to generate innovative ideas and was a great opportunity for our team to gain new insights, network with business leaders, and explore opportunities in enhancing the stakeholder reporting and communications service we provide to clients.
Black Sun’s publishing director, Jane Morgan, who has extensive experience managing complex corporate reporting projects for clients such as Vodafone, NatWest Group, and Rio Tinto, delivered an impactful session titled “Design your story: Create impactful reports with Workiva”. She highlighted the importance of engaging visuals and effective data management to create reports that look good and tell compelling corporate stories in a clear, effective, and compliant manner.
Jane also participated in a breakout session, emphasising the growing importance of digital channels for reporting, driven by AI and the increasing consumption of digital content. She noted how companies need to stay abreast of new regulations and might soon start using Disclosure Management Systems.
The Workiva 2023 Amplify EMEA Conference offered Black Sun a valuable platform to engage with industry leaders and stay ahead of the latest trends in corporate reporting and stakeholder communications. The insights gained will ensure we continue to provide innovative and effective reporting solutions for our clients. We look forward to leveraging these learnings to add even greater value in the evolving landscape of corporate reporting.
