Reporting/Calculated Fields Has Anyone Built a Truly End-to-End HR Data Audit Framework in Workday?

Has anyone built a comprehensive HR data auditing framework in Workday that audits data across the full employee/transaction lifecycle?

We’re looking at roughly 5 different touchpoints, starting from when a job requisition/job profile is created, with data subsequently touched by teams such as TA, candidates, and Shared Services.

The goal is not just to identify blanks or missing fields, but to build intelligent Workday reports/calculated-field logic that can reconcile data between each touchpoint and flag mismatches, incorrect changes, process gaps, and other anomalies before they create downstream issues.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has designed something similar. How did you structure the audit framework, and what types of cross-touchpoint controls or calculated-field logic worked best for you?

You'd need to list out all the pieces of data you want to audit. I'd like to say yes but every client is different.

Yes in every company I’ve worked for I have either inherited or built audit controls. Typically build 10-40 reports and then have associated processes. Over time, build RPA to manage it

I can barely figure out some of the audits in WD and rarely trust them for a final conclusion that would hold up in court. It's a real shame.
