Agencies are required to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control and internal audit to reasonably assure that the transaction is valid and represents a valid business purpose. This requirement applies to agency-maintained systems as well as all operations surrounding Workday.

The state of Washington is preparing to transition to Workday, a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for finance, procurement, budget, human resources, and payroll processes. The first phase of implementation, Phase1A – Core Financials, includes replacement of the Agency Financial Reporting System (AFRS).
