Assessment - Blockchain, Fintech and Regtech

Task
Create a report on Blockchain in the context of Fintech and RegTech.

Assessment Description

Blockchain is an emerging technology of great importance in Finance, Economics and Accounting. It impacts the way we deal with and monitor financial transactions, trade, identify ourselves, and is having an impact on auditing and regulation.

You are a compliance manager in a financial institution. Your company wants to use blockchain for three purposes:
As a mechanism for secure digital transactions and smart contracts
As a way of managing digital identities
To offer clients the chance to invest in cryptocurrencies

However, the executive management team are not sure of all of the benefits of these applications or possible ethical, legal and privacy issues.

You have been requested to prepare a report for management that will address the three key purposes above and to address the concerns raised by the executive. Your report should explain what blockchain is, explain these uses (applications) and how it will benefit yourself and the company auditors in a report, as outlined below.

You will also need to include a statement outlining the approach to research you have undertaken in preparing your assessment. This statement does not form part of the word count for this assessment.
