How do I make crypto holdings clear for an accountant or finance department?<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

By R.T. (Tyler) Dijst<\/a>, blockchain investigator at Paucitas<\/p>\n

An accountant or finance department wants to treat crypto like any other item: an opening balance, the movements, a closing balance and substantiation someone else can recalculate. Paucitas supplies that overview in a form that fits the ledger, with a source for every line.<\/div>\n

What Paucitas does to make crypto holdings clear<\/h2>\n

We bring together all the addresses and exchange accounts belonging to the organisation and turn them into a closed overview: opening balance per period, all movements with date, counterparty address and transaction hash, and the closing balance. Where needed we split by entity, by wallet or by cost centre.<\/p>\n

We also flag the items an accountant will ask about: transfers between own addresses, deposits from a private address, and transactions where the counterparty is not established.<\/p>\n

What you supply<\/h2>\n

The addresses and accounts belonging to the organisation, the export files from the exchanges and the period concerned. If the finance department does not know every address, we start with the known ones and look further from there.<\/p>\n

What you receive<\/h2>\n

An overview in table form you can import or copy across, an explanation of the method and rate source used, and a list of open points. That lets the accountant assess rather than reconstruct.<\/p>\n

If a director also holds crypto privately, we keep that separate. See also the question on company crypto holdings mapped out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to get started<\/h2>\n

You send the addresses and the period. In a first conversation we discuss the form in which the finance department wants the overview.<\/p>\n

European supervisors publish background on crypto assets and the rules that apply to them: see ESMA<\/a> and EBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We do not prepare financial statements and we do not give a view on recognition or valuation in the books. That remains your accountant work.<\/p>\n
