NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: |
KPMG LLP is announcing new U.S. Blockchain leadership to drive and expand the firm's blockchain strategy across its core lines of business - Tax, Audit, Advisory and Industries. Arun Ghosh has been named the firm's U.S. Blockchain leader, and David Jarczyk and Erich Braun have been named the U.S. Blockchain Tax and Audit leaders, respectively. |
In addition to solving business issues with blockchain, companies need to account for the complex regulatory, tax and trade, auditability, risk and compliance implications that come with any global transaction and exchange. KPMG's blockchain approach integrates financial management, digital transformation, and industry subject matter proficiency to provide businesses with comprehensive guidance on blockchain, from strategy to implementation. |
|
WHY: |
The experimentation phase for blockchain is coming to a close with companies now embarking on the execution phase. It is much more than a technology, serving as a global transaction platform that requires an intimate knowledge of tax, global trade tariffs, financial risk implications, and core operations. |

Arun Ghosh – Boston – KPMG U.S. Blockchain leader |
David Jarczyk – Chicago - KPMG U.S. Blockchain Tax leader |
|
Erich Braun – San Francisco – KPMG U.S. Blockchain Audit leader |
