A quick search of YouTube on the search term ‘forging signatures’ turns up many ‘informative and instructional’ videos, some that have been viewed tens of thousands of times.

Some examples suggest that such practices are merely a distraction for bored juveniles. However in the hands of seasoned and determined fraudsters these techniques show that timesheet signature forgery is quite literally child’s play.

Etz Sign provides a secure method for approvers to digitally sign automated timesheets by using encrypted hyperlinks. This totally removes the opportunity for signature-based timesheet fraud. Automated timesheets eliminate paper and does away with the need for pen-to-paper signatures.

The system is so easy to use that approvers do not even require usernames and passwords. Clicking a unique and encrypted link sent to an approver’s Inbox opens a secure webpage that allows each timesheet to be digitally signed. You can click this link to learn more at our Etz Sign features webpage.
