Blockchain technology has unprecedented potential to transform business practices in the financial services industry. As a distributed ledger technology, it is used for various purposes such as data processing, data transformation, and creation and management of digital currency.

Chartered Accountants, who are closely involved with the financial services industry, can significantly benefit from blockchain technology due to its increasing pervasiveness across the industry.

1. Real-time auditing

Traditional auditing involves the process of verifying financial statements and is essentially a post-event process. With blockchain technology, Chartered Accountants can verify all transactions from the time of their execution, saving time, effort, and money. As the transaction data is stored in real-time and recorded in the distributed ledger, an immutable record is generated for the Chartered Accountants, creating a strong audit trail. Forensic auditing and investigations will be simplified for Chartered Accountants due to a strong audit trail, and they will be instantly alerted to unusual transactions and potential red flags.

2. Risk assessment

Blockchain empowers the environment by establishing and maintaining the internal control environment aligned with the management philosophy. Blockchain increases accountability, mitigates risk, and, as it is a decentralized technology, creates an irrefutable and unique record. Chartered Accountants assessing audit risks are presented with a dimension different from the traditional risk assessment methodology.

3. Compliance

All transactions are recorded in real-time and chronologically. Chartered Accountants can identify alterations, unauthorized transactions, and detect fraud in an environment easily. Evaluation of a compliance environment by Chartered Accountants is much simplified due to automation and enhanced security features.

4. Reduced Costs

Blockchain technology can significantly reduce the costs incurred by a Chartered Accountant in practice as it is a transparent, secure, and real environment. Time cost and resource costs can be reduced significantly as major professional exercises of a Chartered Accountant can be performed concurrently with the audit environment.

Implementing blockchain in audit practices and all services rendered by a Chartered Accountant will enhance the efficiency of a Chartered Accountant and also the trust, resilience, and reputation of their services.
