Automated ACFR: From Promise to Reality
Strada will also celebrate the go-live of its Automated Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) app, first announced in June 2025. Purpose-built for U.S. state and local governments, the Automated ACFR app connects directly to Workday Adaptive Planning, replacing manual reporting processes with intelligent automation.
The app, now available on the Workday Marketplace automates data extraction, formatting and version control, compiling all required ACFR content with precision and compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) regulations. Looking ahead, Strada plans to introduce embedded AI agents in early 2026 to help draft and refine complex narrative sections.
Customers can expect:
- 80% reduction in time to produce an ACFR
- 50% reduction in manual effort
- Annual savings estimated at $110,000 – $160,000
Attendees can get a first-hand look at Strada’s Automated ACFR app during the workshop ‘Automated ACFR: Reshaping Financial Reporting in the Public Sector’ on Tuesday (12:00 – 12:45 p.m.) in the Strada Lounge as well as during the Workday Rising showcase (4:20 p.m. – 4:40 p.m.).
