The audit trail for a signing package and the signed documents is distributed immediately after completion to all recipients of a signing package as one document readable in standard PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader. The audit trail is included as attachment to the email.

The audit trail records all relevant actions during the signing package life cycle. This means it contains relevant actions and data created within SignDoc Standard.

An audit trail contains information about

• the signing package
• the recipients of the signing package
• performed actions for accessing the signing package for each recipient
• performed actions for each document of the signing package in chronological order.

The lists below show more detailed information contained in the audit trail.
