Step 6 - Audit Trail Certificate Generation
Once all signers have completed the agreement, it is crucial to generate an audit trail certificate. This certificate documents the entire signing process, capturing essential details and activities. It serves as solid proof of the agreement's integrity, guaranteeing transparency, accountability, and adherence to legal obligations. Signzy's DSC digitally signs the audit trail certificate to ensure its integrity and accountability.
