Crypto accounting for auditors
Auditing crypto means proving existence, ownership, completeness, and valuation — usually from a client's messy exports. CryptaCount gives you the trail, the recalculation, and the on-chain verification to do it with confidence.
The crypto audit challenge
Crypto holdings are hard to audit: ownership lives behind wallet addresses, completeness spans many exchanges and chains, valuation depends on point-in-time pricing, and cost basis depends on a methodology you have to be able to test. Client spreadsheets rarely give you the evidence you need.
What CryptaCount gives the audit
- Complete, traceable trail. Every GL line drills down to the underlying transaction — assertion-level evidence for completeness and accuracy.
- Independent recalculation. Cost basis and gains are computed by a defined, testable method (12 supported), so you can re-perform and tie out.
- On-chain verification. Holdings and transactions tie back to on-chain data via our own infrastructure — supporting existence and ownership.
- Hashed records. Double-entry entries carry integrity hashing, giving you verifiable, tamper-evident records.
- Point-in-time valuation. Valuations sourced from our pricing engine, with the basis transparent.
- Exportable evidence. Pull the detail, reconciliations, and reports you need into your working papers.
Built around the assertions you test
- Existence / ownership — on-chain verification of addresses and balances
- Completeness — full ingestion across exchanges, wallets, and chains
- Valuation — transparent, point-in-time pricing
- Accuracy — independent, re-performable cost-basis calculation
- Methodology — the cost-basis method is explicit and consistent, not a black box; jurisdiction-mandated treatments (UK Section 104, Canada ACB) apply automatically

FAQ
It provides a complete, traceable trail from each GL line to the source transaction, independent cost-basis recalculation, on-chain verification, and exportable evidence for your working papers.
Yes. Holdings and transactions tie back to on-chain data via our own infrastructure, supporting the existence and ownership assertions.
Yes. Cost basis is computed by a defined, testable method (one of 12 supported), so you can re-perform and tie out the figures. Jurisdiction-mandated treatments such as UK Section 104 pooling and Canada ACB apply automatically.
Entries are recorded as double-entry with integrity hashing, giving you verifiable, tamper-evident records.
Valuations are sourced from our point-in-time pricing engine, with the basis transparent for testing.
