Flowers Foods’ Audit Program: A Snapshot
- Internal audit department with three in-house members supplemented by 24 additional contract staff at the second- largest company producer of fresh and frozen bakery products in the U.S. — known for brands such as Tastykake, Dave’s Killer Bread, Nature’s Own, and Wonder Bread.
- Responsible for an annual audit plan that covers 450 SOX and operational controls.
- Previous audit management solution was unreliable and not user friendly, forcing the team back to a manual environment — a move that resulted in version control issues, decentralized documentation, and time-consuming updates.
