The current financial ecosystem is based on double-entry accounting or bookkeeping. It works through two-sided accounting entries, i.e. every entry in one account must have a corresponding and opposite entry in a different account. The problem is that fraudulent entries can easily find their way into this widely used accounting system.
Blockchain-enabled triple-entry accounting solves this problem, as the record is permanent and immutable. This way, internal records become less prone to fraud, as they are verifiable through an easy on-chain audit trail.

<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/3c4d661b45d940cb84b386e06465fc52.png">
Smart contracts are powerful bits of code that can drastically improve the way businesses function and interact with each other. In our latest <a href="https://medium.com/cardstack/using-smart-contracts-to-optimize-business-processes-36ccb569c397" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blog</a>, we presented a few ways businesses can use blockchain and smart contracts to optimize their operations:
<ul>
 <li>B2B Deals: Smart contracts can streamline supply chain processes for business-to-business deals. Considering they leverage blockchain, smart contracts also create an audit trail that auditors or regulators can review.</li>
 <li>Dispute resolution: Smart contracts are based on a set of rules that the involved parties agreed on and require a signoff at each stage. When a dispute happens and there’s a discrepancy, the smart contract synthesizes the data in order to identify the source of that discrepancy and comes to an agreement, making dispute resolution efficient and quick.</li>
 <li>Accounting: In blockchain-enabled accounting, transactions are recorded in chronological order and hosted on-chain, so the record is permanent. Any changes are recorded as separate transactions, eliminating chances of fraudulent transactions.</li>
</ul>
