Why CPAs are now expected to understand Cryptocurrency

Digital assets are showing up in financial statements.
Companies are:

  • Holding cryptocurrency as treasury assets
  • Accepting crypto as customer payments
  • Engaging in staking or mining activities
  • Exploring blockchain-based transactions
  • Compensating employees in digital assets

When cryptocurrency touches the books, the responsibility falls on accounting and audit professionals. Yet most CPAs were never formally trained in digital asset accounting.

This learning path closes that gap — without overwhelming you with technical blockchain theory.

CPA and auditors

Built for Accounting and Audit Professionals

This program focuses on what matters inside audits, financial statements, and compliance reviews:

  • U.S. GAAP classification and measurement
  • Impairment and fair value considerations
  • Journal entries and transaction workflows
  • Custody, fraud, and internal control risks
  • Payroll tax and reporting requirements

You won’t become a blockchain engineer.
You’ll become a CPA who understands how cryptocurrency impacts financial reporting.
