The modern trends of digitalization have completely transformed and reshaped business practices, whole businesses, and even a number of industries. Blockchain technology is believed to be the latest ...advancement in industries such as the financial sector, where trust is of prime significance. Blockchain technology is a decentralized and coded security system which provides the capability for new digital services and platforms to be created through this emerging technology. This research presents a systematic review of scholarly articles on blockchain technology in the financial sector. We commenced by considering 227 articles and subsequently filtered this list down to 87 articles. From this, we present a classification framework that has three dimensions: blockchain-enabled financial benefits, challenges, and functionality. This research identifies implications for future research and practice within the blockchain paradigm.
Blockchain technology has been gaining great interest from a variety of industry sectors, including financial, food processing, and power and energy markets. Realizing the strength of blockchain ...technology beyond the successful application in the cryptocurrency arena, researchers have been evaluating and using blockchain for applications such as supply chain management, transactive industry (both financial and energy), system integrity, device cybersecurity, identity management, and much more. One of the unique elements of the blockchain technology that made it such a captivating technology to researchers is its plethora of features. Some of the features include smart contracts, cryptocurrency and tokenizing, immutable distributed ledger, cryptographic hashing, and digital signature. In addition, there are multiple types of blockchains, such as permissioned/private and permissionless/public, and various consensus models, such as proof-of-work, proof-of-authority, proof-of-burn, and proof-of-stake. Therefore, it is often nontrivial to determine if an application requires a blockchain. If so, what kind of blockchain and consensus is most appropriate? This article discusses the blockchain applicability framework (BAF), which was specifically designed with the purpose to answer those questions. The BAF is divided into five domains, 18 subdomains, and about 100 controls. It is designed to ingest detailed user requirements to perform a weighted evaluation that is built on mathematical constructs to determine the ideal combination of blockchain that is appropriate for an application. Along with the core logical formulation of the BAF, this article depicts the efficacy of the BAF through two use cases.
With the rapid development of blockchain technology, more and more attention has shifted from the theoretical research of blockchain technology to the application of specific business of the company. ...However, there are few literatures on the quantitative research on the impact of blockchain technology on the company's market value after it is applied to the company's actual business. In this paper, 73 listed companies published blockchain application announcements from 2016 to 2019 are selected as the research objects, and the short-term event analysis method is used to quantitatively analyze the impact of the application about blockchain technology on the market performance of listed companies. The results show that: after the announcement of blockchain application in their own business, listed companies have a more significant abnormal income, which shows that the capital market has a significant positive response to the application of blockchain. Finally, this paper puts forward the theoretical and practical significance, limitations and future research.
Accounting and control is the foundation of prosperous business. It is impossible to create an effective internal control system without taking into account the organizational and methodological ...aspects of the accounting process. Therefore, there appears a need for an integrated assessment of accounting and control procedures as a single unified system. The application and introduction of state-of-the art digital technologies is of great importance during the development of high-technology business. In this regard, there is a need to find a system or technology that could make it possible to generalize accounting and control procedures to reduce the risk of the information environment distortion. One of such technologies that implements the formation of a continuous sequential chain of blocks is the blockchain technology. The present article specifies the structure and content of accounting and control procedures blocks using the blockchain technology. The selected blocks include accounting and control procedures based on the sequence of the accounting process. As a rule, control procedures applied by an economic entity do not cover all the risks of accounting information distortion. For that reason, one needs to assess them in order to determine the risks and minimize them. To assess the risks of the information environment distortion, a methodology based on the evaluation of their coverage completeness by accounting and control procedures has been developed. Through a well-rounded assessment of the information environment distortion risk, the proposed methodology will allow one to form accounting information systematically as well as in a quality manner and manage control procedures in order to make effective management decisions.

Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de las publicaciones en ...revistas internacionales y se presenta un panorama de los primeros trabajos en algunos países latinoamericanos. Se identifican las revistas que más han abordado estos temas, los mecanismos que vinculan el blockchain con contabilidad y auditoría, el impacto que traerá, áreas propuestas en la agenda de investigación, su relación con criptomonedas, contabilidad ambiental, ciberseguridad, entre otros. No se trata de una revisión exhaustiva, sino de un panorama general sobre la literatura emergente. Al final, se plantea el potencial de esta área de trabajo para nuestra región, con base en algunos trabajos locales.
Much of the attention surrounding blockchain today is focused on financial services, with very little discussion about nonfinancial services firms and how blockchain technology may affect ...organizations, their business models, and how they create and deliver value. In addition, some confusion remains between the blockchain (with definite article) and blockchain (no article), distributed ledger technologies, and their applications. Our article offers a primer on blockchain technology aimed at general managers and executives. The key contributions of this article lie in providing an explanation of blockchain, including how a blockchain transaction works and a clarification of terms, and outlining different types of blockchain technologies. We also discuss how different types of blockchain impact business models. Building on the well-established business model framework by Osterwalder and Pigneur, we outline the effect that blockchain technologies can have on each element of the business model, along with illustrations from firms developing blockchain technology.
