Audit cases of blockchain Enterprises

1. Government management
some countries have shown great interest in the blockchain technology of decentralized data management framework to store public data. For example, essentia is developing an e-government project with the Central Union of agricultural procers and forest owners in Finland, The project will apply blockchain technology to enable urban and rural residents in Finland to query various records, fully meet the needs of residents and employers, and improve the employment rate. In addition, the use of this technology can also improve the efficiency of government operation, so that residents can easily query ecation, public records, voting and other information
waste recycling
for example, an intelligent waste management system in China adopts the RFID technology of waltonchain company. Using this blockchain application of waltonchain, it can effectively monitor the waste level, so as to improve the management and operation efficiency and resource optimization
identity recognition
chug, a Swiss city known as "encryption Valley", has developed an identity authentication system with its partner uport by using blockchain technology, through which citizens can participate in online voting and proof of residence
border control
essentia has been in contact with the Dutch government, hoping to use its blockchain technology to establish a set of border inspection system for the Dutch government to check passengers between Amsterdam and London. At present, passengers of Eurostar high-speed rail between the two countries need to undergo border control checks at multiple locations. Essentia is working on a blockchain based solution that will securely store passenger data so that inspection records from the Netherlands can also be reviewed by UK Border agencies. Blockchain technology will ensure that the data has not been tampered with and is verifiable and accurate
health care
as we all know, medical records are very scattered and prone to errors. Inconsistent data processing process will make hospitals and clinics often forced to deal with some incorrect or incomplete patient records. For example, Medrec, a blockchain electronic medical record system developed by MIT, uses blockchain technology to promote data sharing. At the same time, it can also provide authentication and confidentiality services
enterprise management
as enterprise customers of Microsoft azure applications, they can make use of blockchain as a service (baas), which will enable enterprises to access smart contracts and blockchain applications in a secure hosting environment. According to media reports, Google is also developing a proprietary blockchain project to support its cloud based business. And alpha, Google's parent company, is developing a distributed accounting project that third parties will be able to use to store data related to Google's cloud services
medical data
medical centers that digitize patient records do not store data among multiple devices. They usually store data on centralized servers, which has become the main target of hackers. The wannacry attack on NHS hospital in the UK proves this. But in addition, even if the security risk is ignored, there is still the problem of fragmentation. At present, there are more than 50 different electronic medical record systems (EHR) operating in hospitals in different cities around the world, and there are usually dozens of different medical application systems in the same city. These independent systems can't perform interoperation, and the data of patients in each hospital can only be distributed in different data storage centers
in the case of patients' life and death, the lack of reliable medical data contrast and slow operation efficiency will be fatal. Essentia's application framework solves all these problems by using blockchain based system, which will store all clinical data of patients, and can access these data immediately regardless of geographical boundaries. In this system, the patient's medical record privacy can also be protected, and only the authorized medical personnel can access it in a specific period of time
Music Proction
one of the main advantages of blockchain technology is that it eliminates unnecessary middlemen or middlemen. The music instry is a typical example. In this instry, if artists are inefficient, they will get very low remuneration. At this time, a number of blockchain based projects have emerged to seek a fairer trading and business environment for music creators, such as artbit, a former gunshot rose drummer Matt Soren as director
carbon compensation
as a highly instrialized country, China's environmental change is huge. In March 2017, IBM and energy blockchain labs jointly launched the hyperledger fabric blockchain project to discover China's carbon assets, which not only creates a measurable and auditable system for tracking carbon emissions, but also provides a tradable market for companies seeking to offset energy consumption and stimulate green instrial practice
supply chain management
supply chain management is considered to be one of the better cases of applying blockchain, because it is very suitable for the express delivery of such goods from delivery to receipt or the whole process from manufacturer to store. IBM and Wal Mart have jointly launched a blockchain food safety alliance in China. The project is also jointly operated with Jingdong company, aiming to improve food delivery tracking and safety assurance, so as to make it easier to trace food safety issues
facts have proved that China is a mature experimental base for blockchain projects, and it is also the location of the world's first blockchain for agricultural procts (5.180, - 0.25, - 4.60%). Louis Dreyfus Co, a world-famous food trader, has established a blockchain technology project in cooperation with Dutch and French banks. Using this project technology, the transaction settlement is faster than traditional methods in the process of selling soybeans to China
diamond instry
De Beers Group, the world's most famous diamond company, has its own blockchain company and has started operation. Its purpose is to "establish a digital record for every diamond registered on the platform". Considering the origin of diamonds, the ethical standards of origin, and the risk of diamond quality, blockchain technology is a good choice, because every record of it is indelible, and it will ensure that the electronic data of each diamond is as permanent as itself
real estate transactions
currently, Ukraine is the first country to use blockchain technology to promote property transactions. Michael Arlington, the founder of techcrunch, a famous technology website and cryptocurrency player, remotely purchased and resold a real estate in Kiev through the smart contract of Ethereum blockchain. This transaction was completed by propy, a start-up company specializing in blockchain real estate transactions
fisheries
blockchain technology is now being used to support the development of sustainable fisheries. Illegal fishing is a common problem in this instry. The distributed ledger technology of blockchain provides a proof of the capture source, processing and sale mode. This "net to table" supply chain allows inspectors to determine whether the fish caught came from a human rights violation area or from a country affected by economic sanctions
art paintings
similar to diamond trading, the art instry relies on the provenance and authenticity of art works. Although the blockchain cannot identify whether a painting is an original or a fake, it can be used to prove the identity of the previous owner of the painting. In addition, blockchain technology is now also used as a means to obtain works of art. It can make tangible goods easily traded and exchanged anywhere in the world without physical transfer from a secure storage place
public facilities
in Freemantle, Australia, a project dedicated to distributed energy and water system management is using blockchain technology, and solar panels (3.340, - 0.06, - 1.76%) are being used in sunny areas to obtain electricity, which is then used to heat water and provide electricity, All these energy conversion and use information will be recorded in the blockchain data
in Chile, the National Energy Commission has started to use the blockchain technology as the verification of the country's energy use data, and some sensitive data will be stored in the blockchain. The application of this technology can be regarded as a means for the modernization and safe operation of power infrastructure in this South American country
LGBT rights
blockchain can help build a "pink economy" and help LGBT communities fight for their own rights without revealing people's identities. This is an extremely important issue, because crimes of discrimination against homosexual groups often occur, especially in countries notorious for human rights violations, Homosexuality is illegal, or at least not allowed
catastrophe bonds
catastrophe bonds may be the only hope for victims of earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Blockchain allows fast and transparent reconciliation between the parties, and can ensure that the system can continue to operate normally even under unmanned operation. Now, blockchain has been successfully used in the settlement mechanism of catastrophe bonds
tourism
local institutions in Hawaii are studying how to use blockchain technology to improve the economy, such as opening bitcoin and other monetary payment means to facilitate tourists' transaction of local goods and services. In this way, the Hawaiian government hopes to attract tourists, especially those from Asia, to spend more money in the local area and improve the economic development of Hawaii
homeland security
in 2016, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a project that will use blockchain technology as a means of secure storage and capture of data transmission. DHS uses Factom's blockchain technology to encrypt and store data captured by security cameras and other sensors. The application of this blockchain technology will greatly rece the risk of data leakage. At present, the project is still in progress
maritime transportation
it is self-evident that blockchain is used to record ship transportation data. At present, some local shipping projects have adopted distributed ledger technology. In the maritime logistics instry, blockchain technology can make the inevitable cumbersome management proceres in international trade more transparent and orderly. Maersk, one of the world's largest shippers, is a pioneer in the use of blockchain. Today, Yixing international shipping company Zim has also made follow-up use of blockchain technology.

2. 1. Weizhong bank uses blockchain technology for loan clearing
in September 2016, Weizhong bank and Shanghai Huarui bank put into trial operation the inter-bank joint loan clearing platform based on alliance blockchain technology to optimize the settlement and clearing of "micro loan" joint loans of the two banks. With the introction of the blockchain system, all the information is recorded on the blockchain network, which can not be tampered with. The transaction process is cleared at the same time, realizing real-time clearing, saving a lot of manpower and material resources
2. China UnionPay uses blockchain technology to realize inter-bank points exchange
in September 2016, China UnionPay and IBM tried out a shared points system based on blockchain technology. Using this blockchain system allows users to exchange bonus points across banks and platforms. In other words, the bonus points of one bank can be exchanged for bonus points of other banks, or even multiple airline mileage and supermarket awards. It greatly improves the use efficiency of bank points
3. Toyota uses blockchain technology to track auto parts
in October 2016, Toyota joined R3 alliance to store the proction, processing and use of each part in the blockchain through blockchain technology, so that when there is a problem with auto parts, the source of the parts can be easily and quickly found
4. Central bank's blockchain digital bill trading platform
in January 2017, the central bank's blockchain based digital bill trading platform was successfully tested. The introction of digital currency for settlement can realize the synchronous transfer of capital flow and information flow of digital bill transaction, so as to realize DVP bill settlement. At the same time, the blockchain digital identity solution solves the problem of repeated KYC authentication between different financial institutions. It not only solves the problem that the transaction amount of digital bills is confidential to the unrelated parties, but also ensures that the regulatory parties such as the exchange have the mechanism of seeing through when necessary
5. Ant financial services blockchain application
in August 2017, ant financial services blockchain technology tested water insurance and helped Xinmei mutual insurance company to launch the first love rescue account in the domestic insurance instry. Blockchain technology makes every capital flow open and transparent, the data of every capital flow can not be tampered with, and the whereabouts and uses of every capital can be traced. In November of the same year, ant chain was used in food safety traceability and traceability of genuine procts. At present, the milk powder proced in Australia and New Zealand and Moutai in China, users can only know if they are genuine procts by scanning Alipay.
there are many other successful cases at home and abroad, all of which indicate that the application of blockchain technology is graally promoted, and is favored by various instries. Accompanied by the emergence of many blockchain technology companies, they want to take a share in this field. However, after the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions issued the "notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance"), with the increasing difficulty of registration, there are more empty shell companies in the intermediary instry chain, and few companies have practical applications
in addition, the security technology of blockchain has always been concerned and controversial. Nowadays, blockchain mainly faces five security problems: the security of underlying code, cryptographic algorithm, consensus mechanism, smart contract and digital wallet.

4. Voice of the Century Group has cooperated with Jiajin He technology company to complete the development and application of the latest global traceability tracking system for wangbingqian Jingui liquor, wangbingqian Honggui liquor and wangbingqian langui liquor. And on the ant financial services blockchain, it can be tracked and inquired all over the world
the voice of the century is dedicated to building an integrated intelligent packaging and digital marketing service scheme for Wang Bingqian liquor, which comprehensively promotes the proct upgrading and brand upgrading of Wang Bingqian liquor from packaging enabling, traceability data collection on the blockchain, Beidou Positioning origin fidelity, AR digital interactive marketing to new retail building. Enabling the packaging of Wang Bingqian liquor is the basis for its procts to move towards intelligent and digital application. Since then, Wang Bingqian liquor has established a connection mechanism with mobile Internet, Internet of things and cloud big data, and began to enter consumers' smart phones, guiding consumers from the physical world of procts to the virtual world of procts, thus solving the problem of anti-counterfeiting traceability, anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting Quality tracking, anti fleeing, digital marketing, brand communication, new retail and other needs.

5. Blockchain is a technical solution to collectively maintain a reliable database through centralization and distrust. This technical solution allows any number of nodes in the participating system to calculate and record all the information exchange data in the system in a period of time to a data block through cryptography algorithm, and generate the fingerprint of the data block for linking the next data block and checking. All participating nodes in the system jointly determine whether the record is true
blockchain can improve the way of data recording in audit. In the current network audit, although there is an early warning mechanism, it still needs auditors to judge and handle the abnormal records manually; Blockchain can automatically process the abnormal records through whether each node verifies and approves the block and the transaction information in it, whether the network node is attacked, and whether the account book of each node is complete, so as to make real-time audit possible. Auditors can directly access and query the effective information on the blockchain, judge whether the processing is reasonable and make corrections. In the blockchain, timestamps are used to record various transactions and operations, which can achieve historical traceability and tracking, and greatly improve the quality and efficiency of audit
blockchain can change the storage mode of audit data. In traditional audit, data are stored in an audit center server, which not only has the problems of high load and slow running speed, but also is vulnerable to attack; The blockchain audit system is a typical distributed storage, each node has the same backup, which can not only save the high cost and maintenance costs of the server, but also ensure the integrity of the data
semi public private chain can be used for audit. Blockchain can be divided into three forms: public chain, semi open private chain and full private chain. Considering the characteristics of audit instry, it is appropriate to adopt semi open private chain mode. For the audited units and enterprises, some trade secret information is not disclosed, but the pre selected nodes within the group decide the generation of the block. External suppliers can participate in the transaction but not the accounting process. Externally, it provides a third-party query node to query through the open API. In this way, it can not only ensure the internal privacy of the enterprise, but also enable the external auditors to implement real-time audit query.

6. It can be said that the world's largest service companies are all promoting the provision of blockchain solutions for customers, providing a cheaper, more effective and faster solution to replace the existing infrastructure
Deloitte is an obvious example, which is investing in bitcoin and blockchain technology on a large scale. Rubix, an internal team of Deloitte, is focusing on developing blockchain applications. In addition, Deloitte Canada recently installed a bitcoin ATM in its Toronto Office
Illiana oris Valiente, co-founder and strategic director of rubix team, explained:
"we think it's very important to show people how to get bitcoin, because it's an entry point to understand the broader impact of blockchain."
Deloitte also explained how blockchain can change instries, including healthcare, financial services and infrastructure, and even bonus schemes. Among them, Deloitte cooperated with Bank of Ireland to successfully conct a proof of concept test of blockchain for transaction reporting
recently, Deloitte and setl, a London blockchain start-up company, reached the first blockchain investment plan. About a month ago, Deloitte and setl announced their cooperation in the development of a contactless card for transaction settlement using blockchain technology< PwC is also involved in the development of blockchain, including establishing a partnership with blockstream, a bitcoin blockchain startup. The service giant also has a partnership with New York blockchain start-up digital asset company. In March 2016, PricewaterhouseCoopers released a report, saying that blockchain is a rare opportunity to realize the technological leap of financial services instry< At the same time, ey, the last of the four big auditors, has recently established a partnership with bitfury group, a famous bitcoin mining company, to provide blockchain services through the use of the latter's expertise
in addition, Ernst & Young Switzerland has announced that they will accept bitcoin as the service payment method from 2017. This plan shows that Ernst & Young has recognized bitcoin, and the underlying technology of bitcoin is the most powerful public blockchain
blockchain technology is not only popular in foreign countries, but also a favorite of the financial sector in China. Domestic giant enterprises such as LETV finance, ant financial services, Internet, Tencent, Wanda and China post are paying attention to blockchain technology. Based on the blockchain technology, Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.

7. 1. Blockchain in the field of payment: the cost of reconciliation, clearing and settlement between financial institutions, especially cross-border financial institutions, is high, and many manual processes are involved; The application of blockchain technology can rece the cost of reconciliation and dispute resolution between financial institutions, significantly improve the efficiency of the payment field, and make it easier for financial institutions to handle small cross-border payment business, which is concive to the realization of inclusive financial business
2. In the field of clearing and settlement: different financial institutions have different infrastructure structures and business processes, involving many manual processes, which greatly increases business costs and is prone to errors. The application of blockchain technology, combined with the assets on the chain mentioned in the second point, can complete the point-to-point real-time clearing and settlement, so as to rece the cost of value transfer, shorten the time, improve efficiency, and both sides of the transaction can obtain good privacy protection
3. In the field of asset management, equity, bonds, bills and other assets are entrusted by different intermediaries, which increases the transaction cost of assets and brings the problem of forged vouchers. With the application of blockchain technology, this kind of assets can be digitized into digital assets on the chain. With the characteristics of irreversibility, non tampering and openness of blockchain, the efficiency of asset transaction can be improved and the cost of asset management can be reced
as the characteristics of blockchain are irreversible and tamperable, information security, point-to-point transaction transmission and decentralization make information reliable and traceable; In order to rece intermediate costs and improve efficiency, it is not only used in accounting and auditing, but also can be applied to all walks of life. Now we can see the mode of blockchain cooperation operation from behind the operation of all walks of life. Therefore, blockchain will widely and profoundly change the way of human life, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology.
