Abstract

The fast expansion of society and the economy has resulted in an explosion of information and data, making financial auditing more complex and laborious than ever before. The explosive growth of business data of the auditees poses significant challenges for data collection, storage, and statistical analysis of financial audits. The traditional methods and approaches of audit can no longer satisfy the needs of financial audit work. The introduction, rapid growth, steady development and widespread application of blockchain in various industries have injected momentum and impetus into traditional financial audits. The characteristics of blockchain ensure the security, integrity and traceability of audit data, hence eliminating data fraud and tampering with financial auditing. This research discussed the application of blockchain in financial audits and concluded that it can promote the improvement of financial audits in terms of audit tools, methods and approaches, thus increasing the quality and efficiency of financial audits.
