For this purpose, the statistical information of the country's banking system in the period of 2015-2023 and the panel data method were used. In order to estimate this relationship, diagnostic tests were performed on the research variables and finally the experimental model was estimated using the panel data method with fixed effects. The obtained results indicated that the index of using blockchain technology had a positive and significant effect on the quality of the bank audit process.
