The immediate benefit to those business that would start using AB Fingertips Suite is the reduction in the accountants’ time required.
Many firms would immediately drastically reduce the number of accountants employed in reconciliation departments.
Auditing time required will be reduced drastically due to the fact that audit tests performed would no longer need to check the validity of the triple entry transactions. These are being confirmed by the other company on the opposing spectrum, which is an independent 3rd party. Auditors will start placing reliance on Triple Entries as they are cemented in the Blockchain.
Throughout the consultation stage, AB encountered many businesses explaining how rogue employees within their organisation used creative accounting and manipulation of data to defraud their employer. This in the past has been
as easy as changing the supplier invoice bank details in order to channel the funds their way. Currently to deter this type of fraud and other fraud risks, companies undertake to implement flimsy, costly and time consuming systems of internal control, including multiple checking and re-checking. AB’s Fingertips Triple Entry Suite will serve as a shield against fraud as invoice details as well as the suppliers’ bank details as well as all invoice data would be recorded in the Blockchain and can never be manipulated.
