Hello Friends

We are happy to report that we have a good number of papers in preparation for the conference. But we do not as yet have a full schedule.

Also, we felt, after the 1st Conference, that a more varied schedule might be more entertaining and informative.

To this end, and with the collaboration of MDPI / JRFM, we are very happy to announce that we are de-coupling the presentation of papers for the conference from the submission of papers to JRFM.

The deadline for submission to the conference is Feb 15th. The JRFM deadline is now June 31st.

Papers, projects and posters that are strong contenders for publication or are of particular interest to the editors will be considered for presentation at the conference . Presentations made to conference will have the support of editors in preparing them where relevant to JRFM for publication.

If you have a TEA related project that you would like to propose for inclusion at TEA2, in any format (full paper, work in progress, poster or other format) please email it to
program@teaconf.org

Triple entry accounting is a revolutionary approach to traditional financial record-keeping that utilises blockchain technology to create a tamper-evident, decentralised ledger of transactions. This innovative system provides a new level of transparency and security to the accounting process, as it allows for the simultaneous recording of transactions in three separate locations: the sender’s ledger, the receiver’s ledger, and a public ledger.

This ensures that all transactions are accurately recorded and verified, providing a more reliable and trustworthy record of financial activity. Triple Entry provides even more reliability than both single and double entry accounting methods do. This is by providing more reliable methods for financial accounting. Triple Entry system is the way forward to revolutionise the way companies track their finances in the near future. This is with the ability of its increased security measures. One can understand why it might become the preferred means of financial tracking for business over the present double entry booking. 

Background: sometime around the start of this millennium, Triple Entry Accounting has spawned a multitude of innovations, investigations and experiments, chief of which is Bitcoin. The extent and tempo of this work is increasing in academia, business and the accounting profession. Until now there has not been a regular public forum for this topic and this event intends to remedy that lack; the event hopes to provide a platform for bringing sharper focus and cohesion to the allied projects and to illuminate fruitful avenues of further research and development work. 

Triple Entry Accounting is a multidisciplinary field. It has been made possible by two key innovations found primarily in the last century:  the public, open network of the Internet, and open cryptography.  As well as providing a new way to account for value in the traditional accounting sense, it has implications for a wide range of industries such as supply chain, trade fiance, computer security, regulation, evidence and fraud, statistics and AI, auditing, and public and private revenues.
