Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting (TAA) has expanded its cloud-based practice management and compliance software platform, CCH iFirm, with the introduction of a new module, CCH iFirm Validate.  

The platform is designed to accelerate the audit process by simplifying bank confirmations and account verifications through the use of blockchain technology. 

CCH iFirm Validate provides a solution that enhances data security and integrity.  

It allows auditors to securely share results with peer reviewers, inspectors and others involved in the audited business, the company said. 

Replacing traditional manual processes, this automated solution offers a secure and efficient alternative.  

Open banking authorisation enables auditors to securely request and receive data, supporting timely audits.
