Accounting for Cryptocurrencies | Kirk Phillips

Welcome to the "Accounting for Cryptocurrencies: Transactions, Tracking & Tax" with Kirk Phillips. This presentation was delivered on Wednesday, August 28th 2019.

This session will educate professionals, particularly accountants and CPAs (but also financial advisors and lawyers), about the nuances and challenges with cryptocurrency accounting for business entities (and by default individuals).

Using and securing cryptocurrency is one thing but accounting for it is another. The unique aspects of cryptocurrency create simultaneous parallel transactional paths one for taxable events and one for business operations for every single transaction. Meanwhile, limitations of key data points and other information (normally considered basic accounting information) with block explorers, exchanges and wallets coupled with client’s poor crypto process flows creates a challenging landscape for professionals to navigate.
