Blockchain for CPAs. The Basics and Beyond with Jagruti Solanki of Aprio

This was one of the technologies where the guidance we have is
really not up to speed in the way that the technology has been
moving and evolving.


GBD76 Jagruti Solanki has spent more than a decade
at Atlanta-based Aprio, a leading CPA firm with a
growing global clientele. An assurance partner specialising
in technology and blockchain, she tells Mballa Mendouga (AICPA
& CIMA, Durham, NC) about 'smart' contracts, internal
controls of digital assets, and how to use blockchain for proper
financial reporting.
