This lecture introduces the concept of Triple-Entry Accounting (TEA) as a blockchain-based solution to traditional accounting challenges. It covers the history of TEA, the REA model, and the evolution towards blockchain implementation. The lecture discusses the benefits of TEA over double-entry accounting, such as increased data integrity, automation, and provenance tracking. It also addresses the drawbacks of traditional systems, like manual data entry, lack of traceability, and reconciliation issues. By exploring TEA's role in shared ledger systems and its impact on transaction processes, this lecture provides insights into the future of accounting practices.
