Abstract

This study investigates the role of blockchain technology in enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency in the financial reporting systems of Bank BRI Jayapura. It examines the perceptions of employees, the challenges faced during implementation, and the regulatory barriers hindering full adoption. Findings indicate that blockchain holds significant potential to improve financial reporting accuracy and security by reducing fraud risks and ensuring data immutability. However, the successful adoption of blockchain is contingent upon comprehensive employee training, the readiness of technological infrastructure, and the development of clear and structured regulatory frameworks. The research suggests that management’s role in framing blockchain as an innovative solution rather than a disruptive threat is essential for overcoming resistance. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the need for continued research into regulatory frameworks and the long-term impact of blockchain on banking operations.
