Money. That word alone can make parents either sit up straight with pride or slump in their seats with guilt. The truth is, when it comes to raising kids, our relationship with money doesn’t just stay with us. It spills over into our children’s world, whether we like it or not. I’ve seen parents unknowingly…
Growing up, money was never explained in my family. It wasn’t talked about at the dinner table, it wasn’t shown in practical ways, and it certainly wasn’t a skill my parents thought kids should learn. I remember thinking cash just appeared when my dad pulled it from his wallet. I thought bills were something adults…

Money for kids. It sounds simple, right? You give them a piggy bank, drop in a few coins now and then, and hope they learn the magic of saving. But as I’ve learned raising my own little ones (and chatting with other parents at school gates and farmers’ markets here in the US and UK),…
Money. Chores. Kids. Three things that can make even the calmest parent feel like they’re trying to herd chickens on a windy day. When I first started giving my eldest a small allowance tied to chores, I’ll be honest — it felt awkward. I grew up in a house where chores were just expected, no…
Smart contracts, a revolutionary application of blockchain technology, are self-executing contracts with terms directly written into code. They enable automated, trustless transactions without intermediaries, making them a critical component of modern financial agreements. However, their inherent complexity and the irreversibility of blockchain transactions necessitate rigorous auditing to validate their accuracy, reliability, and compliance. This article…

By harnessing vast amounts of data, auditors can uncover insights, identify anomalies, and streamline auditing processes like never before.
