Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Fraud-proof accounting: the power of blockchain technology (Blo-tech)   Order a copy of this article
    by Asha Sharma, Aditya Mishra 
    Abstract: The purpose of the study is to identify the factors affecting fraudulent practices in the accounting profession and to measure the impact of fraud-proof accounting to reduce the risk. The main aim of the study is to find the impact of fraud-proof accounting in the prevention of fraudulent practices in the accounting profession. A partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was employed as the principal data analysis approach, and Smart PLS 4.0 was employed as the main analytical software. The findings showed that there is a significant impact of fraud-proof accounting in the prevention of digital and financial fraudulent practices in the accounting profession. The impact made by the technology to prevent identical and supply chain fraudulent practices is significant but found negative. It is suggested to improve the accounting technology to four-dimensional (4D) customised accounting with blockchain technology.
    Keywords: generative AI with blockchain technology; accounting profession; fraudulent practices; fraud-proof accounting; identical; digital; supply chain and financial frauds; customised accounting.

  • Blockchain with ring signature for enhancing the privacy and security   Order a copy of this article
    by Ramya Rajamanickam, Saumya Chaturvedi  
    Abstract: Blockchain technology has the potential to bring about a technological revolution in the rapidly evolving digital world by offering a decentralized, distributed, and immutable ledger that can be verified and made accessible electronically over a network. However, blockchains are constrained by disparate problems including security and privacy. Current blockchain approaches are quite unattainable to survive the privacy difficulties, despite many attempts to devise and combine new privacy solutions. Here we discuss the possibility of using a ring signature with blockchain. The unlinkability and anonymity of Ring Signatures can be used to preserve blockchain security and privacy. Further we discuss a real time implementation which is studied and evaluated with Ring Signature model to facilitate user signing by preserving privacy and maintaining anonymity revealing better efficiency and effectiveness. The findings demonstrate how our method is better and successful in handling issues with trust, intermediaries in an environment of digital transactions.
    Keywords: blockchain; privacy issues; ring signature; anonymity; privacy; unlinkability; anonymity; secure blockchain; security; blockchain heist.
