How can NGO accountability practices be improved with technologies such as blockchain and triple-entry accounting? presents the following source proposition: Design/methodology/approach An in-depth case study of a large NGO, relying on semi-structured interviews, document analysis and non-participant observation, provides an understanding of current issues in existing NGO accountability and reporting systems. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Without a core use case other than the store of value provided by Bitcoin, decentralization technology is less likely to proliferate; banking, money transmission, and triple entry accounting are natural but insufficient as universal use cases for public blockchains. 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.
