#72: Audit & Attestation Tools for Digital Assets with Jeremy Nau from LedgerLens
Manage episode 438536959 series 3394208
As the world moves “on-chain,” so too will the need for auditors.
With auditors naturally evolving their practices from periodic paper reporting, to digitally native, API-enabled, Oracle-ready, and real-time reporting.
But how do auditors bridge the gap and how can the auditing industry as a whole remove the technical barriers to entry?
Enter LedgerLens, a platform made for auditors, by auditors.
Providing a suite of crypto-audit and attestation tools, enabling auditors to complete financial statement audits with digital assets on the balance sheet. LedgerLens also provides additional “Proof of Reserve”-specific tooling, enabling you to take on new engagements for stablecoins, exchanges, and RWAs.
