Excel documents are universally used for bookkeeping, statistics and analytics calculations, preparation of charts and graphs. Even if the company maintains documents in paper form, the auditor will still use electronic means to facilitate the calculation and reporting of periods.

Signing an Excel document online has several advantages over signing paper versions:

●The opportunity to familiarize yourself with the document and put your signature without being in the office
●No need to print the entire Excel workbook
●You can leave your details in the document, even while in another country
●You do not need to delay payments and reports if you cannot be in the office to check the document
●The signature will be fully valid, as amended in your state

If you work with foreign clients or partners, be sure to clarify the specifics of electronic documentation in their country or state. You are also required to agree in advance that you will conduct joint documents electronically. Once a transaction has been completed, neither of the parties is obliged to keep documents electronically and digitally sign them on an ongoing basis.

Standard Excel tools also allow you to sign, but most often this will require a ready-made set of details or a certificate with an encryption key issued by the relevant authority. To sign a document using standard office suite tools, follow this algorithm:

●Click on the "File" tab
●Select "Information"
●Then "Document Protection" or "Book Protection"
●Click "Add a digital signature"
●Click "Ok."

The program will require you to have a certificate or offer to get it from Microsoft Office partners. To install a visible signature, you need to create a string - such opportunities are available in an open document on the Insert tab - Signature. You need to fill in all the fields in the window that appears and then click "OK."

Right-click on the line that appears in the document, select "Sign," then select text or image. At the end of the procedure, a note appears in the status bar of the document next to the statistics that it is signed and any changes will cause the document version to change and cannot be authenticated.

In terms of ease of signing, standard tools are inferior to online services. Use DigiSigner to ensure full encryption of Excel documents and data confidentiality, sign necessary calculations and reports according to all security standards.
