"Bitcoin is the 'Kleenex' of cryptocurrency - the one that people
hear about on the news - but it's just a gateway."


Blockchain is one of the many emerging technology trends
that have the potential to disrupt the accounting and finance
role. We explore some of the latest advancements in this
three-part series with leading subject matter experts.  Part

Innovation) Kacee Johnson talks to Lukka CEO Robert
Materazzi. 


Talking Points. These are some of the
issues and topics we cover in our conversation.

What are regulators in the US as well as abroad doing to
account for this?
