This chapter explores the integration of blockchain technology into accounting information systems (AIS) within large corporations, addressing the limitations of traditional centralized systems such as data inaccuracies, fraud, and inefficiencies. Through a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies, the study demonstrates how blockchain can enhance data accuracy, transaction speed, transparency, and stakeholder trust. Despite challenges like regulatory uncertainties and the need for organizational change, the findings suggest that blockchain has the potential to revolutionize corporate accounting. Future research should focus on scalability, regulatory frameworks, and integration with emerging technologies.
