#97: Building the Digital Assets Audit Department at Deloitte France


Listen Later

Deloitte has been on the front lines of digital assets, working with exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers, and enterprises to bring crypto into regulated finance.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jérémy Stevance, Manager on Deloitte France’s Digital Assets Team, who has spent the last four years building their crypto audit practice.

He’s worked with Web3 leaders like Circle, Binance, and Crypto.com, as well as traditional giants like LVMH and Société Générale.

We also discuss Coinia, Deloitte’s proprietary tool that reconciles hundreds of thousands of blockchain transactions directly to client books.
