The capture of an electronic signature is accomplished by prompting the user to enter his or her NT username and password before submitting the COI disclosure online. This ensures accountability and provides protection against accidental submission.
Electronic signatures are validated using a process of network authentication. The system validates the logon and password is correct and submits the COI disclosure to be reviewed by the Supervisor. The date submitted field and the last modified date field are updated with the date and time of the submission. The date and time of the submission can be seen by the individual on the MY COI page under the Last Modified date and it can be seen by the Supervisor on the Supervisor Summary page under the Date Submitted.
