United Kingdom 的 Accountancy 用例
Engagement letters and fees
Engagement letters and fee agreements are form-free and signed via a link in minutes. The advanced signature (AES) records the client, scope and time, avoiding later disputes.
HMRC authorisations (64-8)
Authorisations to act for clients before HMRC are signed digitally and sent in bulk. The audit trail evidences the authority; the signed PDF can be filed in the client record.
Approval of annual accounts
Annual accounts and approval minutes are signed off by the client with a defined order and a lock until fully signed — avoiding delays at filing and Companies House deadlines.

British 法律框架
Form-free engagements and record retention
Engagement contracts are form-free and can be concluded electronically. Accounting and tax records are subject to retention periods (typically six years under the Companies Act 2006 and HMRC rules); Certyneo archives signed documents with integrity and a timestamp.
Evidential weight (UK eIDAS)
Electronic signatures are admissible as evidence; the qualified signature (QES) carries the highest assurance. The audit trail of Certyneo (timestamp, IP, OTP) strengthens evidential weight in a dispute.
