Blockchain in accounting, accountability and assurance: an overview presents the following source proposition: The authors imported the eight accepted papers into NVivo, coding them according to the research topics posed in the call for papers. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Business, administrative, and legal processes that depend on legal intermediaries may become redundant as blockchain technology advances and is accepted, with ledger keeping services such as notary and registry services, motions practice, and title companies among the first to disappear. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
