# Audit Trail

Every document processed through emSigner generates a tamper-evident Audit Trail (Completion Certificate). This document serves as the official record of the entire document lifecycle.

It provides a comprehensive and chronological log of all document-level activities, including upload, viewing, signing, sealing, rejection, and completion.

The Audit Trail captures detailed transaction metadata such as envelope information, originator and signer details, event timestamps (received, viewed, signed), IP address, time zone, geolocation (where available), and digital certificate information for certificate-based signatures.

This record supports traceability, compliance requirements, audit reviews, and dispute resolution.
