Shining as one of the Big Four accounting organizations, KPMG, the leading professional services providing firm, has announced the news about the launch of KPMG Origins in Australia, China, and Japan. KPMG Origins is a ‘track and trace’ platform that is designed on blockchain pedagogies to cater to the requirements of varied industries, including agriculture, resources, manufacturing, and finance domains.
While talking about KPMG Origin, Ken Reid, ASPAC Head of Advisory and Partner, KPMG Australia said that the platform is likely to strengthen and support the supply chain systems in an array of industrial domains. He explained that the supply chains in the present era are faster, interconnected in a better way, and are indulged in the sharing of greater amounts of data in comparison to what was being shared in the earlier phase of the century.
The leader quoted that “From agriculture to financial services, the complexity of supply chain ecosystems creates operational risks, reconciliation challenges as well as safety concerns. KPMG Origins’ goal is to solve these problems by providing independent third-party verification and certification of data and processes.”
