Abstract

Blockchain, muhasebe alanında önemli değişiklikler yaratabilecek bir teknolojidir. Blockchain ve muhasebe arasındaki ilişki, finansal işlemlerin güvenli, şeffaf ve verimli bir şekilde kaydedilmesinin oldukça önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Geleneksel muhasebe yöntemlerinde karşılaşılan güvenlik ve doğruluk sorunlarına çözüm sunan bu teknoloji, merkeziyetsiz yapısı sayesinde aracıları ortadan kaldırarak işlemlerin daha hızlı, düşük maliyetli ve güvenli yapılmasını sağlar. Bu çalışmada, Blockchain’in genelde muhasebe bilimini özelde ise muhasebe mesleği ve denetimini nasıl etkileyeceğine ilişkin yayınlanmış çalışmaları ele alarak bu teknolojinin muhasebe açısından fırsat ve riskleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle Blockchain’in teorik alt yapısı ortaya konulmuş daha sonra ise muhasebe mesleği ve denetim alanında göstereceği etkiler ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Blockchain’in gelişimi ile birlikte muhasebe mesleğini icra eden kişilerin işlerini kolay, kalıcı, şeffaf vb. biçimlerinde gerçekleştireceği genel fırsat olarak görünse de buna karşılık işlem maliyetlerinin yüksek olması, yenilikçi yaklaşımın kabul etmemesi, teknik karmaşıklığı, gizliliği ortadan kaldırması vb. durumlar risk olarak görülmektedir.

Abstract

Blockchain is a technology that can create significant changes in the field of accounting. The relationship between Blockchain and accounting shows that it is very important to record financial transactions securely, transparently and efficiently. This technology, which offers a solution to the security and accuracy problems encountered in traditional accounting methods, eliminates intermediaries thanks to its decentralized structure and enables transactions to be made faster, more cost-effective and more secure. In this study, the opportunities and risks of this technology in terms of accounting were examined by examining the published studies on how Blockchain will affect accounting science in general and the accounting profession and auditing in particular. First of all, the theoretical infrastructure of Blockchain was presented in the study, and then the effects it will have on the accounting profession and auditing field were tried to be revealed. Although it seems as a general opportunity that accounting professionals will perform their jobs easily, permanently, transparently, etc. with the development of Blockchain, on the other hand, high transaction costs, not accepting innovative approaches, technical complexity, eliminating confidentiality, etc. are seen as risk.
