One of the common misconceptions about blockchain is that it's one technology. You may have heard or seen references to companies tracking supplies on the blockchain or smart contracts being executed on the blockchain.
Fact is, there are many blockchains. The original blockchain was created to facilitate and record transactions of the digital currency bitcoin. Since then, blockchain technology has been used for myriad purposes: among them the automation of contract execution (smart contracts) on the Ethereum platform and the tracing of lettuce and other leafy greens in the Walmart supply chain to more quickly find sources of contamination in the event of illness outbreaks.

Wirecard inquiry probes why Germany missed fraud of century | Accounting Today
Lawmakers will question a top adviser to Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday in Berlin before grilling financial industry watchdogs the following day as the fraud that burned investors engulfs the country's political establishment. If the hearings go badly, parliament may start a deeper investigation as the country prepares for the post-Merkel era with an election due next year.
At the heart of the issue is whether German officials knowingly turned a blind eye because of the prospects of establishing a home-grown technology leader. Wirecard boasted that it would revolutionize payments with faster electronic transactions and more services for consumers and companies.

Art of Accounting: Advising a client to sell or buy a business | Accounting Today
There are no undergraduate and very few graduate courses on advising clients that want to sell their business or who want to buy a business. When I started my career, there were no CPE courses either.
I am trying to remember how I learned about mergers and acquisitions, and it seems that it was by doing the grunt work after the transactions were completed, watching my bosses in action, or when a boss explained what he was doing for a client I worked on.

Proponents of a mail-in election this November have worried aloud about the deep-in-debt U.S. Postal Service collapsing under the weight of 130 million ballots, all due the same day. But its $11 billion in red ink is a pension-driven mirage.
