How to create a legally defensible audit trail for contracts

contract

In regulated industries, having a digital audit trail proves exactly how, when and by whom a contract was executed. In this respect, many audit logs fall can short of legal or regulatory expectations. If your firm is ever challenged (by a regulator, in court or during a customer dispute) only a legally defensible audit trail will protect your business. That means capturing verified identity, context of consent and a tamper-evident record that clearly shows the contract journey from start to finish.

Our latest guide walks you through exactly what’s needed to meet this standard. Whether you're managing contracts in conveyancing, financial services or any other regulated field, this guide outlines the four core elements of a defensible audit trail and explains why fragmented signing and verification tools introduce risk.
