What is the impact of blockchain on the accounting profession

1.

If it is legal tender, then it has no effect. For example, the non legal tender issued by the central bank is regarded as a financial asset. It has little impact on the tax system

it has a subversive potential impact on accounting practice. Those who try to cheat on tax should be careful. In theory, you can analyze those evasive behaviors that you have done at almost zero cost

if digital currency is widely accepted and can play the role of currency, it will weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy and bring difficulties to policy-making. Because digital currency issuers are usually unregulated third parties, money is created outside the banking system, and the amount of circulation depends entirely on the wishes of the issuers. As a result, the money supply is unstable. In addition, the authorities are unable to monitor the issuance and circulation of digital currency, which leads to the inability to accurately judge the economic operation and brings trouble to policy-making, At the same time, it will weaken the effectiveness of policy transmission and implementation

extended data

various bill market businesses based on commercial bills are growing rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot field of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current domestic bill business is still paper transactions, and supply chain finance also relies heavily on labor costs

in the future, if we realize the digital monetization of bills and adopt the blockchain transaction, we will make the bills, funds, financial planning and other related information more transparent. With the help of intelligent contract, we can generate an unforgeable, open and unique electronic contract between the borrower and the borrower, and directly realize the point-to-point value transfer, without the need for specific physical bills or central system for control and verification, It can prevent selling more than one vote, track the flow of funds in time, protect the rights of investors and rece the cost of regulators

2. With the emergence of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, this time tested financial framework is likely to be changed. With the power of blockchain and the rise of this new data based currency, the whole concept of money has been reversed. Although our current understanding of money has changed over the past few decades, thanks to credit cards and fiat money, cryptocurrency is the logical next step in this evolution
this is understandable for accountants, but what does it mean for entrepreneurs? Well, anyone interested in starting or maintaining a successful business will need a competent accounting team. With the change of financial environment, the experience and insight that business accountants need will also change. Understanding this coming paradigm shift can better help entrepreneurs prove their organization in the future, and may even help them save money on business expenses related to accounting
overview of bitcoin modern accounting
the current financial paradigm regards bitcoin, Ethernet and all other cryptocurrencies as assets. In the United States, for example, any form of cryptocurrency is considered property, not money. Although the IRS recognizes that bitcoin can be used as a "medium of exchange", bitcoin is not classified as currency because it usually has the function of "unit of account and value storage space"
as a result of this classification, changes in the value and quantity of cryptocurrencies are taxed as capital gains or losses. mining or buying a lot of bitcoin will lead to capital increase, which will make bitcoin subject to capital gains tax. The same is true for trading or selling cryptocurrency, as these events are treated as taxable capital gains and losses. Therefore, the accounting treatment of the holding amount of the comparative currency or other high-end stocks is roughly the same as that of other forms of equity (such as real estate or stocks)
forecast of bitcoin and accounting in the future
e to the legitimacy of blockchain and cryptocurrency in the financial sector, the accounting nature of bitcoin and other advanced currencies will also change. Although many potential changes are too far away to be accurately predicted, one aspect of accounting is bound to change dramatically, which will inevitably affect all entrepreneurs and business organizations. This aspect refers to audit
here's how blockchain and cryptocurrency are used to brutally disrupt the audit process, and what it means for companies that employ auditors? Because bitcoin is currently classified as the property that must pay capital gains tax, the audit method of its value is called immediate forensics analysis. However, the immediate verifiability of blockchain technology makes this audit method obsolete

when you track these changes and developments, please discuss with your organization's accountant or financial advisor. They can help you understand the further meaning of these events; In some cases, they can even show you what actions you can take to deal with these events, so as to increase your profits, rece your costs, and open up a new development path for your enterprise
on the other hand, if your accountants and auditors are at a loss about your research, consider updating your finance team.

3. Blockchain is a technical solution to collectively maintain a reliable database through centralization and distrust. This technical solution allows any number of nodes in the participating system to calculate and record all the information exchange data in the system in a period of time to a data block through cryptography algorithm, and generate the fingerprint of the data block for linking the next data block and checking. All participating nodes in the system jointly determine whether the record is true
blockchain can improve the way of data recording in audit. In the current network audit, although there is an early warning mechanism, it still needs auditors to judge and handle the abnormal records manually; Blockchain can automatically process the abnormal records through whether each node verifies and approves the block and the transaction information in it, whether the network node is attacked, and whether the account book of each node is complete, so as to make real-time audit possible. Auditors can directly access and query the effective information on the blockchain, judge whether the processing is reasonable and make corrections. In the blockchain, timestamps are used to record various transactions and operations, which can achieve historical traceability and tracking, and greatly improve the quality and efficiency of audit
blockchain can change the storage mode of audit data. In traditional audit, data are stored in an audit center server, which not only has the problems of high load and slow running speed, but also is vulnerable to attack; The blockchain audit system is a typical distributed storage, each node has the same backup, which can not only save the high cost and maintenance costs of the server, but also ensure the integrity of the data
semi public private chain can be used for audit. Blockchain can be divided into three forms: public chain, semi open private chain and full private chain. Considering the characteristics of audit instry, it is appropriate to adopt semi open private chain mode. For the audited units and enterprises, some trade secret information is not disclosed, but the pre selected nodes within the group decide the generation of the block. External suppliers can participate in the transaction but not the accounting process. Externally, it provides a third-party query node to query through the open API. In this way, it can not only ensure the internal privacy of the enterprise, but also enable the external auditors to implement real-time audit query.

4. The lowest one should have the accounting qualification certificate, then the junior accounting title, that is, assistant accountant (with accounting certificate, you can take the exam), accounting and primary economic law. The third one is the intermediate accounting title, that is, intermediate accountant (graated from junior college with five years of working experience, four years of undergraate working experience, and three years of postgraate with primary accounting title)

5. Blockchain is a decentralized distributed record book and a credit data system. Its advantages are obvious
1. What the Internet changes is the acquisition and transmission of information, while what blockchain does is the transmission of value
for example, on the Internet, we can easily and quickly generate information and it to any place. All information can be spread efficiently, but some valuable information that can only be transferred but cannot be shared often needs credit endorsement
for example, we can't the payment directly to the other party, but we need to subtract some money from the payment account and add some money to the collection account to complete the payment process. The current Internet protocol does not support the function of value transfer. The current value transfer is not direct transmission. Instead, it is endorsed by a centralized third party, such as Alipay, such as banks.
now these centralized organizations put all the calculation of value transfer in a centralized server, which will certainly involve the participation of people, which will cause many problems, such as some "finite theory" and "opportunistic behavior", which will make the whole behavior less credible. So there is a basic question, how to reach a credit consensus
this is how blockchain technology came into being. It can be said that blockchain can build a pure point-to-point value transfer system. Without the mutual trust of each node, blockchain can ensure the integrity and security of data records in the system, and can be separated from the endorsement of third-party organizations, effectively recing the complexity and risk of transactions
2. It is open and transparent, and can not be tampered with
all data of the blockchain can not be tampered with or deleted, and the information of the whole system is open and transparent. If someone owes you a sum of money, and now the data has been put on the blockchain, if he doesn't want to return it to you and play a rogue with you, you can go to the court to protect your rights through the data forensics on the blockchain, so as to get back your legitimate funds. Because the data on the blockchain is open to the whole network, the users of the whole network will know his rogue behavior, which will greatly increase his credit cost. Dishonesty will make him have an important impact in the next life.

6. 1. Blockchain in the field of payment: the cost of reconciliation, clearing and settlement between financial institutions, especially cross-border financial institutions, is high, and many manual processes are involved; The application of blockchain technology can rece the cost of reconciliation and dispute resolution between financial institutions, significantly improve the efficiency of the payment field, and make it easier for financial institutions to handle small cross-border payment business, which is concive to the realization of inclusive financial business. 2. In the field of clearing and settlement: different financial institutions have different infrastructure structures and business processes, involving many manual processes, which greatly increases business costs and is prone to errors. The application of blockchain technology, combined with the assets on the chain mentioned in the second point, can complete the point-to-point real-time clearing and settlement, so as to rece the cost of value transfer, shorten the time, improve efficiency, and both sides of the transaction can obtain good privacy protection. 3. Asset management: equity, bonds, bills and other assets are entrusted by different intermediaries, which increases the transaction cost of assets and brings the problem of forged vouchers. With the application of blockchain technology, this kind of assets can be digitized into digital assets on the chain. With the characteristics of irreversibility, non tampering and openness of blockchain, the efficiency of asset transaction can be improved and the cost of asset management can be reced. Because the characteristics of blockchain are irreversible and tamperable, the information is confidential and secure, the point-to-point transaction transmission is decentralized, and the information can be traced reliably; In order to rece intermediate costs and improve efficiency, it is not only used in accounting and auditing, but also can be applied to all walks of life. Now we can see the mode of blockchain cooperation operation from behind the operation of all walks of life. Therefore, blockchain will widely and profoundly change the way of human life, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology.

7. Blockchain technology is to use computers to solve some propositions that can't be calculated by human brain. Generally, these propositions can't be judged by backstepping. They can only be tested one by one, so this is our legendary mining. So the stronger the computing power of the computer, the easier it is to try to get the right number, which means that we have succeeded in mining
this is totally different from the operations in accounting. Most of the operations in accounting are floating-point operations, which are totally different.

8. Cloud computing, big data, blockchain, intelligent technology, these new applications and new technologies emerge one after another. On the one hand, they have brought great changes to the development of financial management, on the other hand, they also have a great impact on accountants. Not only do accountants in the workplace need to quickly find a breakthrough and carry out transformation, but accounting students in the school stand on the starting station of the accounting instry, We must also face up to this situation and adapt to the situation<

single ability will be eliminated by the society

the former universities pay attention to the cultivation of professional talents, and students only need to master the courses of their own specialty. However, new technology will replace a large number of basic accounting work in the future, so the basic accounting knowledge learned by accounting majors in school is likely to become worthless content when they enter the society. How can we avoid the embarrassing situation at this stage of grassroots accounting

at this time, students majoring in accounting are required to have the ability in addition to their professional knowledge, so that they can deal with more diverse tasks after entering the post<

the employment of the original position no longer has advantages

the rapid and wide application of new technology in the accounting field makes the instry talents become diversified. Ms. Jin, partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers, once mentioned in an interview, "among new employees, accounting majors may be fewer and fewer, because new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain are not the knowledge that accounting majors are good at, but many of them are the specialty of science and engineering students. Therefore, we need to recruit talents in different professional fields. "

accounting firms, which once had great advantages in accounting majors, will graally increase the introction of other professionals, which will undoubtedly rece the employment opportunities of accounting students

how should accounting students deal with it

accounting students should have a sense of crisis, but there is no need to be pessimistic. As long as they are aware of the current situation and make corresponding changes, they can turn challenges into opportunities< In order to cultivate students' English and computer skills, CET-6 and proficient operation of office system will become the most basic ability requirements< It is necessary to cultivate the way of doing things and the ability of logical thinking, clear thinking and quick comprehension, which can help graates adapt to the working environment and develop their talents

3. To exercise the ability of communication, coordination and organization, the most irreplaceable ability of artificial intelligence is people's communication ability. In the future, accounting jobs will need more things to be coordinated by people, so students must participate in community and practical activities to avoid becoming robots who can't speak

4. Although accounting professional knowledge has become the most basic ability, it is also an important basis for all work. Only a solid grasp of professional knowledge can provide stable support for the subsequent development

the arrival of a new era is destined to mean change and development. Challenges and opportunities always come together. Therefore, accounting students need not panic because we are all in the same situation. As long as we make changes first, we will be able to cope with changes.
