Academic Researches suggesting storing XBRL Big Data in Blockchain

• Real-time accounting and reporting with XBRL combined blockchain (By-ström, 2016, Trigo et al., 2014)

• Acceleration of time with the XBRL blockchain (Colgren, 2018, Monterio, 2016)

• Continuous auditing and verification with XBRL blockchain (Dai, 2017, Chan et al., 2018, Deloitte, 2018, Dai and Vasarhelyi, 2017) 11

• How to build a distributed ledger platform prototype from the ground up, specifically designed to manage financial reports, in the line of other proposals in the financial area.(article and demo by Boixo et al., 2019)

• Design and implementation of a prototype to validate and store financial statements using Ethereum blockchain (d’Atri et al., 2019)

6

Application of blockchain to XBRL fillers, accountants and auditors

• Validation of postings

• Verification of financial and non-financial information

• Time saving

Recent solutions Challenges

• Complexity, Non-technical users can’t easily use

• Permissioned(not free to access)

• Less accessible(everybody, everywhere)

• The current blockchain platform are ready for

business

The 5 biggest Business Intelligence challenges

13

Traditional BI solutions Challenges

• Complexity and Difficulty in the implementation of new BI requirements without tremendous support of technical team

• Slow in adapting new business requirement• Limited development (in data, process and application level)• Lack of sufficient scalability or flexibility of technical

architecture(Vallurupalli Vamsi 2018)• Are not free to use• Analyzing Big Data in a Timely Manner• Managing Big Data Growth• Security Risk of the centralized solutions• BI users cannot work paper free

14

Problems with traditional BI

• Many independent components that require integration

• BI systems are impacted by continuous changes
