Audit and accounting + digital assets:

Navigating complexity in a rapidly changing environment

Accounting for and auditing digital assets can be complex. Practices and regulatory guidance surrounding asset classification, measurement requirements, fair value considerations, disclosures, and other issues continue to evolve. Meanwhile, the need for building trust continues to grow, as financial institutions, corporations and consumers opt in to this new, but rapidly expanding industry.

Strategic considerations

We believe that digital assets are here to stay, and it is important to have a financial reporting plan in place.

Questions business leaders are asking

How do I safeguard my digital assets?
