The Transformative Role of Blockchain Technology in Management Accounting and Auditing: A Strategic and Empirical Analysis

Abstract

The research surveys the innovative effects of blockchain technology on management accounting alongside auditing operations with emphasis on how it builds transparent systems and efficient operations and data-based decision capabilities. During traditional financial accounting businesses focus on external reporting needs while management accounting serves internal financial planning tasks and strategic evaluation needs. Decision support systems based on blockchain technology allow organizations to define this set of functions by creating instantaneous transaction logs and safeguarding data integrity and executing financial procedures automatically. Auditing professionals experience fundamental changes because blockchain technology delivers operational real-time validation tools and detects fraud as they work to transition from historical retrospective assessments and sampling verifications. Most research in blockchain examines its usage in financial accounting yet neglects to evaluate its impact on management decision conduct and internal controls. A research project develops this gap through concept-to-evidence integration to explore blockchain implementations among management accounting and auditing fields. A systematic examination of blockchain adoption's practical aspects and opportunities draws from insights gathered from industry case studies and professional experts together with cross-industry evaluations. The research examines both regulatory challenges and technical obstacles alongside organizational barriers that organizations face when implementing blockchain systems and presents essential strategic suggestions to governments and corporations and their regulatory institutions. The research delivers a sophisticated assessment of blockchain effects on accounting and auditing which advances our collective understanding about digital transformations in financial management to help direct upcoming advancement of accounting practice
