Old economic models have failed because they look at the ability to help people out of poverty separate from enabling people in poverty to take part in the supply chain. - Ashish Gadnis of BanQu Mainstream Interviews with business leaders are generally puff pieces designed to amplify the subject's success or advertise the company's product. How boring! We went a different route with Tomorrow's Jobs Today.

He chairs the Financial Inclusion Working Committee for the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance and travels the world, explaining how this revolutionary new technology is transforming the way we contemplate supply chain economics.

The advent of blockchain’s ledger technology brings both opportunities and challenges for accountants. A set of working groups has been tasked this summer to sort through those technical challenges—as many as 200 issues have been identified so far. The groups are expected to make recommendations to the American Institute of CPAs later this year. Accountants' work is expected to change dramatically in the future because of the distributed ledger system. The initiative aims to help accountants prepare to use the technology and find market opportunities for them.
