Abstract

Blockchain technology has very recently been involved in a wide range of extra-financial activities and is attracting a lot of interest in numerous sectors. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the implications of this technology for accounting, audit and control practices. Specifically, we will seek, in a prospective approach, to present this technology and to illustrate its innovative aspects, which will influence these activities in the years to come.
