The Distributed Futures research programme has produced a report entitled “Get Smart About Scandals: Past Lessons For Future Finance”, another in a series of exciting projects in the programme. The report was written by Professor Tim Connell, Bob McDowall, and Professor Michael Mainelli. We are delighted to invite you to the report launch on Wednesday 7 March, from 08:45 – 10:45, where we will inform you of the basic tricks that fraudsters, conmen, and the incompetent use, our approach to the report, and some recommendations based on policy, procedures, structures, and training.

Smart Ledgers are based on a combination of mutual distributed ledgers (multi-organisational databases with a super audit trail) with embedded programming and sensing, thus permitting semi-intelligent, autonomous transactions. Smart Ledgers are touted as a technology for fair play in a globalised world. There are numerous projects building trade systems using this technology with announcements from governments, shipping firms, large IT firms, and the like. The research is intended to inform policy makers and business people making decisions about moving towards these systems.
