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

Some agencies start transactions within an agency system and route transactions for approval within that system. Once all approvals are applied in the agency system, the agency represents the transactions are fully approved for posting. These transactions are then sent to Workday via an integration.

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).

Statewide Accounting will continue to update this website as new policies, procedures, and resources are developed. In addition, the currently posted resources and policies may change as the Workday design is finalized and as we receive feedback and questions.
