Blockchain for Accountant in 2024

This course provides a concise overview of blockchain -- an online system of shared databases and distributed ledgers. The system allows authorized groups and individuals to evaluate and certify transactions between parties. The transactions are synchronized (every authorized user gets same view), decentralized (not under the control of any one entity), indelible (records cannot be changed or undone), single-use (recorded only one time), and non-reputable (irrevocably associated with the specific party who initiated the transaction). Blockchains can be used not just in accounting but in any situation when a verifiable public record is required (such as health records and educational credentials). The system has been touted as the most disruptive technology in decades, the new operating system for the planet, and the next evolution of the supply chain. You’ll walk away with a fundamental understanding of blockchain, and its potential to add value to your business chain and your career in the accounting profession.
