FINANCE WITHOUT NOISE
Take control of processes, risk, and quality
WoodWing Scienta helps finance organizations structure quality management, risk, and compliance, without added administrative burden.
WHY WOODWING SCIENTA FOR FINANCE?
Finance under control: quality, processes, and knowledge centrally secured
Demonstrably ensuring quality and compliance
Scienta makes quality management practical and verifiable. Policy documents, procedures, risks, and measures are directly linked, so you can always demonstrate what has been agreed, what has been implemented, and what has been followed up on – essential for successfully passing audits.
Processes under control without additional noise
From internal controls to incident reports and improvement actions: Scienta structures finance processes and prevents fragmentation across separate documents and systems. Roles, responsibilities, and follow-up are clearly defined for all.
One central place for knowledge and accountability
All relevant information – from guidelines and work instructions to reports and decisions – is available centrally. This ensures that everyone works with the same, up-to-date information and, even in the event of personnel changes, knowledge is retained.
Why control over Finance is not a given
Finance today requires control, but that ‘grip’ does not come naturally in an environment that is increasingly complex and fast-paced.
Growing compliance and accountability pressures
Laws and regulations require demonstrable actions. Many organizations struggle with gathering evidence, tracking changes, and preparing for audits. Scienta ensures consistency and traceability, so that compliance does not become a source of stress.
Scienta connects policy agreements, risks, measures, and actions directly to a central environment. Every change is recorded, including who did what, when, and why. This automatically creates an up-to-date audit trail, which makes audits more predictable, less time-consuming, and more manageable.
Fragmented processes and unclear ownership
Financial processes often span multiple departments and systems. Without a clear structure, gaps in responsibilities and tracking occur.
With Scienta, finance processes are captured as consistent workflows with clarity about who is responsible for what and what the next step is. Tasks are linked to roles and process phases, with automatic alerts when follow-up is required. This creates one clear way of working where ownership and progress are clear to all.
Limited grip on risks and improvement measures
Risks are identified, but not systematically monitored. The danger then is that risks become disconnected from possible measures, controls, and evaluations, and continuous improvement becomes a pipe dream.
With Scienta, risks are not just identified but also actively managed. With Scienta, risks are not just recorded but actively managed. Measures are assigned an owner, clear follow-up tasks, and fixed evaluation moments. This creates an improvement cycle in which risks, actions, and results are connected – a necessity for effective risk management and accountability within Finance.

What do you use Scienta for within Finance?
Scienta is used to implement, operationalize, and continuously maintain quality management, process management, and compliance. It helps teams to connect policies, processes, risks, actions, and evidence, so that quality becomes demonstrable and manageable.
Does Scienta help with audit preparation and demonstrability?
Yes. Scienta makes it easier to show what you have agreed upon, how you implement it, and how you organize follow-up and compliance. This is necessary for internal audits, quality reviews, and answering compliance and governance questions.
Is Scienta suitable for use by multiple teams or departments simultaneously?
Yes. Scienta is ideally suited to support collaboration and ownership across teams. Roles, responsibilities, and follow-through become visible, so that quality doesn't ‘belong to one person’ but is part of daily work practice throughout the organization.
How do you keep Scienta from becoming yet another system?
By aligning Scienta with existing procedures: who does what, when, and where do you record evidence. Adoption works best when processes remain simple, responsibilities are clear, and employees experience immediate benefits (less searching, less duplication, more overview) – exactly what Scienta does for your employees and your organization.
What is the difference between Scienta and Xtendis?
Scienta focuses on organizing and securing processes, quality, risk, and continuous improvement. Xtendis focuses on document and file management: secure storage, findability, authorizations, and audit trails. In Finance, they often complement each other, depending on your issue.
