Abstract

This paper proposes a systematic literature review emphasising scholars' view on the impact of the adoption of blockchain technologies to fight corruption. Providing a deep understanding of the state of the art, the paper drafts implications and valuable insights to address future research. The connection of anticorruption policies and blockchain technologies has been investigated using Scopus database and ABS journal ranking. The importance assumed by anticorruption policies and the innovativeness of the blockchain technology, thanks to its characteristics of immutability, automatic timestamping and distributed architecture, needs to be investigated in an integrated perspective. This study provides for the first time a systematic connection among anticorruption practices and blockchain towards the lens of the business, management and accounting field, providing valuable implications, insights and emerging issues.
