Abstract

Abstract The financial reporting in a circular economy (CE) is expected to be implemented through blockchain technology to achieve accurate, transparent and accountable, and sustainable. In the context of a CE, which is more conscious and deliberate about measuring financial benefits beyond shareholder value due to its focus on stewardship towards natural assets, this chapter provides a strategy highlighting when and where blockchain could be used for financial reporting. This chapter seeks to identify the mechanisms to operationalize blockchain for financial reporting and review the prospective advantages as well as constraints from such a transition and pitch potential new frontiers that would equip CE to better provision sustainability.
