The newest offering in the eMortgage Technology certifi- cation program is focused on eClosing Systems by verifying the presentation of electronic records for eSignature; allowing for signer's consent to the electronic signature process; supporting the verification of the signer's identity utilizing a multifactor authentication process; and con- firming the content and integrity of the audit trails for an eClosing transaction.
