Abstract

Teknoloji çevreleri tarafından internetten sonra hayatımıza giren en önemli teknolojik gelişme olarak tanımlanan blok zinciri, diğer bir ifadeyle dağıtık defter teknolojisi, geniş uygulama potansiyeliyle dikkat çekmektedir. İlk olarak Satoshi Nakamoto takma adıyla hala kimliği bilinmeyen bir kişi ya da grubun yayınladığı bir çalışmada tanımlanan Bitcoin adlı dijital/kripto para birimiyle duyulan blok zinciri teknolojisi, ilerleyen süreçte özellikle muhasebe ve finans alanındaki uygulama potansiyeliyle birlikte hızla geliştirilmiş ve geliştirilmeye devam etmektedir. 

Sürekli olarak yenileri piyasaya çıkan kripto para birimleri önemli bir işlem hacmine kavuşmuşken diğer taraftan akıllı sözleşmeler gibi işletmelerin mevcut operasyonlarında önemli kaynak ve zaman tasarrufları sağlayabilecek blok zinciri teknolojilerine hızlı bir uyum süreci ortaya çıkmıştır. 

Çalışma ile öncelikle blok zinciri teknolojisi kısaca tanımlanmış ve teknolojinin muhasebe ve finans sektörlerindeki mevcut ve potansiyel kullanım alanlarına ilişkin değerlendirmelere yer verilmiştir. Bu kapsamda özellikle kripto para birimleri, akıllı sözleşmeler, ödeme altyapıları ve muhasebe kayıtları ve denetim konularında blok zinciri teknolojisinin mevcut ve gelecek kullanım şekilleri ele alınmıştır. Daha sonra ise blok zinciri teknolojisinin muhasebe ve finans alanlarına yönelik kullanımında sağladığı/sağlayacağı avantajlar ve dezavantajlar ortaya konarak teknolojinin olası etkileri tartışılmıştır.
