This process confirms the transfer of assets or resolution of obligations between businesses. It ensures that all parties fulfill their agreed-upon responsibilities, bringing transactions to a definitive close.

Discussions center on leveraging distributed ledger technology for more efficient intercompany payments and asset transfers. Future developments may include widespread adoption of tokenized assets for near-instantaneous corporate value exchange.
