Integrating Blockchain, IoT, and XBRL in Accounting Information Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

Mohamed M. Nofel, Mahmoud Marzouk, Hany Elbardan, Reda Saleh ¡ 5 authors

Over the last few decades, remarkable technical advancements, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, have emerged. These tools have the ability to change the accounting process. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on using the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in a single accounting information system (AIS) to enhance the quality of digital financial reports. This paper employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, specifically, by adopting the widely accepted PRISMA technique. The final sample of this study included 309 related studies from 2013 to 2023. Our findings highlight the lack of literature related to the integration of these three types of technologies within a unified AIS. This study is extremely significant because it proposes a new research stream that explores the possibility of integrating IoT, blockchain, and XBRL in a single accounting system, yielding a plethora of benefits to the accounting field. However, the potential benefits of such an integration are evident, including enhanced transparency, real-time reporting capabilities, and improved data security. Our paper’s main contribution is that it is the first paper, to the best of our knowledge, to explore the integration of these three technologies. We also identified important gaps in the research and pointed out ways for future research to somehow take a lead in exploring further how this integrated system is affecting accounting practices.

Megha Upreti, Stephanie, Widhy Setyowati

This study aims to describe the overview of financial literacy, risk preferences, and investment decisions, as well as to analyze the influence of financial literacy and risk preferences on cryptocurrency investment decisions among millennials in Tangerang City. The research sample consisted of 95 respondents, selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through a questionnaire with a Likert scale format. The collected data was then analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS).

The high financial literacy and risk preferences positively contribute to cryptocurrency investment decisions. Hypothesis testing shows that both financial literacy and risk preferences have a positive and significant impact on cryptocurrency investment decisions. This study has implications for efforts to improve the rationality of cryptocurrency investment decisions to avoid undesirable losses, such as selecting cryptocurrencies with less volatile price fluctuations or diversifying portfolios by combining cryptocurrencies with conventional assets like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

Financial Inclusion of Moroccan Smes: Assessing Fintech's Adoption and Exploring Decentralized Finance Perceptions in Morocco

Abderrahmane Ed-Daoudy, Ahmed Chakir

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of financial technology (FinTech) and decentralized finance (DeFi) among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Morocco. The research aims to shed light on the current landscape of digital financial services and explore the potential for DeFi implementation in the Moroccan context. Using a quantitative research method, data was gathered through self-administered questionnaires distributed to SMEs in Morocco. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory serves as the theoretical framework to understand the factors driving FinTech and DeFi adoption. The results reveal a strong and positive correlation between “Relative Advantage” and “Adoption” (0.323), indicating that SMEs perceive FinTech and DeFi as beneficial and advantageous for their businesses. Additionally, a positive correlation is found between “Trial Ability” and “Adoption” (0.277), suggesting that SMEs’ ability to experiment with these technologies influences their adoption behavior. Furthermore, a weaker positive correlation is observed between “Compatibility” and “Adoption” (0.152), implying that the alignment of FinTech and DeFi with existing practices and systems plays a role in their adoption. Regarding DeFi implementation, the study finds that 64% of Moroccan SMEs maintain a neutral stance, while 5% express serious concerns about its future in the Moroccan financial landscape. This finding highlights the need for further education and awareness-raising efforts to foster a more positive perception of DeFi among SMEs. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the factors influencing FinTech and DeFi adoption among SMEs in Morocco. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and technology providers in designing strategies to promote the adoption of these technologies and enhance financial inclusion in Morocco.

Pengaruh Pengetahuan Investasi, Persepsi Resiko Dan Literasi Keuangan Syariah Terhadap Minat Investasi Dengan Cryptocurrency

Lelyta Dewi Candra, Agung Abdullah

Investasi dengan cryptocurrency merupakan hal yang baru bagi sebagian masyarakat Indonesia, tidak jarang para investor crypto terjebak pada perilaku judi (maysir) dan spekulasi (gharar). Dewan Syariah Nasional Majlis Ulama Indonesia telah mengeluarkan fatwa haramnya transaksi dan investasi dengan cryptocurrency. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency terpengaruh oleh pengetahuan investasi, persepsi resiko dan literasi keuangan syariah. Data dihasilkan dari penyebaran kuisioner, hingga mendapat 100 responden baik pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto. Pengolahan data memanfaatkan SPSS versi 25 dan memakai analisis regresi linear berganda. Hasil uji hipotesis pengetahuan investasi (X1) pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto membuktikan tidak berpengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (0,985 dan 0,235 > 0,05). Pengujian persepsi resiko (X2) pengguna crypto terdapat pengaruh positif (0,038 < 0,05) sedangkan non pengguna membuktikan ada pengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (4,070 > 0,05). Pengujian literasi keuangan syariah (X3) pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto membuktikan berpengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (0,001 dan 0,016 < 0,05). artinya literasi keuangan syariah khususnya fatwa yang menyatakan cryptocurrency adalah haram dapat memberikan informasi yang berguna bagi calon investor/investor tentang bahaya, tingginya resiko dan mudharat yang ditimbulkan. Penelitian ini memiliki keterbatasan pada jumlah responden serta moderasi variabel antara literasi keuangan syariah dengan tingkat religiusitas.

Investasi Cryptocurrencies. Bertahan dengan Kerugian Cryptocurrencies?

Andreas Kiky, David Saputera

Holding the loss without reason is one of the behavioural biases which are very common to be found in investment. Investment is also entering a new era of modern and sophisticated assets. One of these assets is known as cryptocurrencies. This article is written to detect whether the disposition effect is occurring to cryptocurrency investors and whether they are holding the loss. The disposition effect in this research was measured as respondents' perception of whether they sold the winning assets too fast and kept the failure in the long run. The result from this research is disposition effect was indeed found in descriptive statistics but failed to confirm the influence of independent variables on the disposition effect using the linear regression method. There is no effect of financial literacy, overconfidence, regret aversion, and risk tolerance on the perceptional disposition effect, which the emotional factor of loss aversion might cause. This will cause an individual to be reluctant to realize the loss in the hope the asset will return to the initial purchasing price. Further investigation will be the future area for developing research about the disposition effect. Interestingly, this research also found the literacy score of the respondents is deficient, but they are very confident in investing in the most volatile asset, such as cryptocurrencies. This research has several limitations, such as the sample being relatively similar in financial literacy, so selecting a wide range (heterogenous), sample in future research is crucial. Another improvement is in methodology, and perhaps an experimental approach could be a promising field in the study of behavioural bias in the future.

Intan Maurissa, Masduki Ahmad

This study aims to discuss the history, purpose, and reality of decentralization of financing management in local government, as well as analyze the conflict of corruption of education funds in Indonesia and formulate solutions. The method used is a literature study with descriptive analysis techniques. It describes the analysis of data evidence from official government websites and from the results of other parallel studies to find new discussions and experiences to formulate solutions that are much more relevant to the current bureaucracy. The results of this study explain that local government corruption cases after decentralization are the highest of other government agencies, and the source of funds that is the strongest possibility of this practice is the education sector. The education budget continues to soar every year, but the progress of educational development still needs to grow. With the political payback concept, the corruption chain is increasingly difficult to break. As time goes by, the barriers to education seem unchanged. In this case, the DPRD is required to oversee the process of distributing education funds from the central ministry to local governments, the mass media must be more transparent, and the need for anti-corruption education from an early age to form an attitude of responsibility and discipline, this anti-corruption education needs to be given repeatedly, especially for political contestants.

Cryptocurrency: An Islamic Finance Perspective

Mohammed Nabeel. K, M. Sumathy

The popularity of virtual currencies has increased markedly in recent years. Seminars and conferences have explored the properties and sustainability of cryptocurrencies. Some argue that an alternative to the current fiat currency system would be beneficial, as it would not mandate the use of a bank account, tax payments, or audits as do the said cryptocurrencies. Alternative methods of payment, aside from those commonly accepted like cash, checks, and DD, have been claimed to enable tax and auditing avoidance. However, this view has been contested, given the potential negative impact on the economy and the government budget. The present study addresses the challenges and limitations involved in considering bitcoins to be halal. It has been determined that cryptocurrencies are not considered Halal in Islam because they lack intrinsic value and are subject to significant regulatory oversight. Popularitas mata uang virtual telah meningkat pesat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Seminar dan konferensi telah mengeksplorasi properti dan keberlanjutan mata uang kripto. Beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa alternatif dari sistem mata uang fiat saat ini akan bermanfaat, karena tidak mengharuskan penggunaan rekening bank, pembayaran pajak, atau audit seperti halnya mata uang kripto. Metode pembayaran alternatif, selain dari yang umum diterima seperti uang tunai, cek, dan DD, telah diklaim memungkinkan penghindaran pajak dan audit. Namun, pandangan ini telah diperdebatkan, mengingat potensi dampak negatifnya terhadap ekonomi dan anggaran pemerintah. Penelitian ini membahas tantangan dan keterbatasan yang terlibat dalam mempertimbangkan bitcoin sebagai sesuatu yang halal. Telah ditetapkan bahwa mata uang kripto tidak dianggap halal dalam Islam karena tidak memiliki nilai intrinsik dan tunduk pada pengawasan regulasi yang signifikan.

Cryptocurrency According to The Principles of Usul Al-Fiqh: A Critical Analysis by Mohd Daud Bakar

Muhammad Adib Samsudin

There are various views concerning the cryptocurrency issue. The majority of scholars and world Islamic bodies, such as Dar al-Iftā 'al-Miṣriyyah (Egypt), Dar al-Iftā' al-Falasteeniyya (Palestine) and the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs, do not permit cryptocurrency for various reasons, including the existence of uncertainty (gharar), risk (khatar) and the fact that it facilitates (wasilah) the crime of fraud and money laundering. However, some Islamic financial and religious scholars do permit it. One scholar who views cryptocurrency positively and believes that it should be permitted is Mohd Daud Bakar, who is the Chairperson of the Shariah Advisory Council of Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and former Chairperson of the Shariah Advisory Council for Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). He is also former President of the International Islamic University (IIUM) and the chairperson or international Shariah advisor at various financial institutions around the world, including the S&P Islamic Index and Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (New York). His extensive experience of more than 25 years in this dynamic field has made him a leading and important reference expert. In 2015, in a report released by the Global Islamic Finance Report (GIFR), he ranked sixth among the world’s 10 Islamic finance experts. This success has made him an expert, not only in the field of Usul al-Fiqh which is the core knowledge base of Islam, but also beyond the field of Islamic finance and law. This paper analyses the validity of Mohd Daud Bakar’s views on cryptocurrencies within the scope of Usul al-Fiqh according to the ‘illah, ‘urf, sad zarai’ and fatḥ zarāi’ methods. This qualitative study had obtained data from Facebook Live video recordings, reports and articles, which were then analysed using the descriptive content analysis method. It can be concluded from an ‘illah (legal operative cause) aspect that there is no acceptable ‘illah for banning this currency. From the point of view of al-’urf, cryptocurrencies are acceptable and do not contradict the principles of Shariah. Whereas from the point of view of sad zarāi’, this study found no solid evidence that it could lead to deleterious circumstances other than mere conjecture and assumption, hence, the introduction of cryptocurrencies should be permitted or made accessible. He also suggested the use of the fath zarāi’ method, which is better suited for creating opportunities for innovation and creativity of financial products based on financial technology (fintech). Finally, he mentioned about the permissibility of cryptocurrency as a medium of exchange even if it does not become the legal currency of a country.

Henny Rahyuda, Made Reina Candradewi

The investment world today is vying for profit from investing in cryptocurrencies, so this encourages young people, especially students, to invest in cryptocurrencies, but financial literacy, herding behavior, and risk perception are things that influence investment decisions. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence students’ decisions to invest in cryptocurrencies. The research method used is quantitative, using questionnaires distributed to students in Bali; the sample in this study was active students currently studying at universities in Bali, Indonesia, totaling 179 samples; questionnaires were distributed using the Google form and analyzed using Warp PLS. The results show that investment decisions, herding behavior, and risk perception are all significantly and positively influenced by financial literacy. Perceived risk and herding behavior have a significant influence on investment decisions. Perceived risk and herding behavior can partially mediate financial literacy on investment decisions. The influence of financial literacy on investment decisions will be stronger if it is through perceived risk with a coefficient value of 0.412 and herding behavior with a coefficient value of 0.422. Based on the study’s conclusion, it is important for investors, especially students, to prioritize improving their financial literacy before investing in cryptocurrencies. Additionally, investors should be aware of the potential impact of herding behavior and perceived risk on their investment decisions and take steps to mitigate their influence.
