There are still many unknowns with respect to how
blockchain will impact the audit and assurance profession,
including the speed with which it will do so. Blockchain is already
impacting Certified Public Accountant (CPA) auditors of those
organizations using blockchain to record transactions and the
rate of adoption is expected to continue to increase. However, in
the immediate future, blockchain technology will not replace
financial reporting and financial statement auditing. Financial
statements reflect management assertions, including estimates,
many of which cannot be easily summarized or calculated in a
blockchain.
Furthermore, the process of an independent audit of financial
statements enhances the trust that is crucial for the effective
functioning of the capital markets system. Any erosion of this
trust may damage an entity’s reputation, stock price and
shareholder value, and can result in fines, penalties, or loss of
assets. Users of financial statements expect CPA auditors to
perform an independent audit of the financial statements using
their professional skepticism. CPA auditors conclude whether
they have obtained reasonable assurance that the financial
statements of an entity, taken as a whole, are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. A blockchain is
unlikely to replace these judgments by a financial statement
auditor.
That said, CPA auditors need to monitor developments in
blockchain technology—it will impact clients’ information
technology systems. CPA auditors will need to be conversant with
the basics of blockchain technology and work with experts to
audit the complex technical risks associated with blockchain.
In addition, CPA auditors should be aware of opportunities to
leverage their clients' adoption of blockchain technology to
improve data gathering during the audit. They should also
consider whether blockchain technology will allow them to create
automated audit routines. The auditing profession must embrace
and "lean in" to the opportunities and challenges from
widespread blockchain adoption. CPA auditors and assurance
providers are encouraged to monitor developments in blockchain
technology because they have an opportunity to evolve, learn,
and capitalize on their already proven ability to adapt to the
needs of a rapidly changing business world.

What makes a school good? (Part II)
Another reason the schools may be so successful is
the teachers. Teachers in Finland are seen as very
important. They are well respected and the field of
education is considered to be a science, with its own
methodology, theory and principles. Every teacher
studies for five years before they can teach. This is in
contrast with the status of education in many other countries. Perhaps this explains why it's actually
rather difficult to get a job as a teacher in Finland, as
well as the reason that it's such a popular job.
In order to get students' opinions about what makes a
school 'good', I visited my local school playground to
do a little informal research. The thirteen-year-olds I
spoke to were interested to hear about the Finnish
schools. I asked them if they thought British schools
were too strict and whether they thought more
students would go to university if things were
changed. Fay, one of the best students in her year,
said she didn't think British students would benefit
from a school that was too easy-going. She felt her
teachers weren't strict enough, and that was why few
students in her school went on to higher education.
So it seems that the Finnish education system has
come up with a 'formula' that works successfully in
that country. Their example can serve as a model for
other countries, but each country will have to work
hard to put together an education system that will
meet the needs of its people.

What makes a school good? (Part I)
Everyone is concerned about the quality of education
a school offers, but how is quality measured? We
often hear that schools in some countries are
excellent, while schools in other countries are filled
with problems. What factors should we be looking at to
judge how 'good' schools are or aren't? I decided to do
some research on the topic to see if I could come up
with some answers.
One way of deciding if a school is good is by looking at
how many students go on to university when they
leave. If you look at all the schools in the world, the
country which sends the highest numbers of its
students to university is Finland. So, I looked at
conditions in Finnish schools to see what made them
so successful.
Often you will hear people say that the best schools
are those that are strict. So, are the schools in Finland
very strict? The answer is no, they aren't. They are
usually very informal places with teachers and
students sharing ideas. In fact, Finnish schools have
a unique way of dealing with students and this could
be the reason why they are so successful. While
students in many countries spend long hours in school
studying boring subjects, lucky students in Finland
have short school days and ten weeks of summer
holidays.Added to that, lunch is free and there are lots
of lessons in sport, music and art.
Also, Finnish schools seem to have a different
philosophy. They believe in equality and making
school seem like a home away from home, so
students feel comfortable and enjoy going there. The
aim of the schools is not only to focus on 'good'
students but also to provide extra help to students that
need it. The result of this is that less able students do
much better in Finland than they would in other
countries.

What makes a school good? (Part I)
Everyone is concerned about the quality of education
a school offers, but how is quality measured? We
often hear that schools in some countries are
excellent, while schools in other countries are filled
with problems. What factors should we be looking at to
judge how 'good' schools are or aren't? I decided to do
some research on the topic to see if I could come up
with some answers.
One way of deciding if a school is good is by looking at
how many students go on to university when they
leave. If you look at all the schools in the world, the
country which sends the highest numbers of its
students to university is Finland. So, I looked at
conditions in Finnish schools to see what made them
so successful.
Often you will hear people say that the best schools
are those that are strict. So, are the schools in Finland
very strict? The answer is no, they aren't. They are
usually very informal places with teachers and
students sharing ideas. In fact, Finnish schools have
a unique way of dealing with students and this could
be the reason why they are so successful. While
students in many countries spend long hours in school
studying boring subjects, lucky students in Finland
have short school days and ten weeks of summer
holidays.Added to that, lunch is free and there are lots
of lessons in sport, music and art.
Also, Finnish schools seem to have a different
philosophy. They believe in equality and making
school seem like a home away from home, so
students feel comfortable and enjoy going there. The
aim of the schools is not only to focus on 'good'
students but also to provide extra help to students that
need it. The result of this is that less able students do
much better in Finland than they would in other
countries.
