How to prevent forging signatures in your professional training materials with the right software

The short answer is yes , since we can classify the falsification of a signature under Article 390 of the Penal Code, which regulates the crime of document forgery and includes the following scenarios:

• Alteration of a document.
• Simulation of a document in whole or in part.
• Assuming in an act the intervention of people who actually did not have it.

As you can see, the 3 assumptions would fit perfectly into the falsification of signatures during FUNDAE training .

Another specific scenario for these training sessions, and one worth considering, is when a student signs on behalf of a classmate who did not attend the session but has given them permission to do so . In other words, a signature with consent and without malicious intent, but one that would still constitute a crime.

It is also important to note that this crime can be committed with both paper and digital documents .

Forgery can have serious legal and criminal consequences, depending on the severity of the case and the circumstances in which it was committed. According to the Spanish Penal Code, forgery is punishable by the following penalties:

• If the person committing the offence is a public official or authority acting in the course of their duties, the penalty is imprisonment for three to six years, a fine of six to twenty-four months, and special disqualification for two to six years.
• If the perpetrator is a private individual, the penalty is imprisonment from six months to three years and a fine of six to twelve months.

Forgery of signatures can affect both public and private documents, but the penalties are more severe when it involves public documents or when the person responsible is an authority or public official.

In the specific case of FUNDAE training courses, the detection of forged signatures will also result in the loss of the bonus.

To prevent the falsification of signatures in all processes involved during training activities, which could jeopardise the achievement of FUNDAE subsidies, SoWeSign has developed a solution that guarantees the authenticity of documents such as

• Attendance control document, both for each training session and the group document.
• I received materials and documents.
• Electronic diplomas and certificates of attendance.
• Questionnaires for evaluating the quality of training.

To achieve this, we have several features that have proven to be truly useful. The first is that each student receives a request to their email address, a QR code, or a specific URL. This is done to ensure that only they can sign the documents.

To this we can add another layer of security, which is that the trainers have the ability to review the signatures and request a correction from the student if they see any indications of irregularity.

In addition, SoWeSign incorporates a timestamp into the signatures, which verifies that the signature was made at a specific time, and audit trails and traceability, which collect all the details of the process.

Therefore, if you want to avoid any complications related to signature forgery in your FUNDAE training courses, SoWeSign is the best option you can find on the market, as it combines the ease of a simple electronic signature with robust measures that ensure the authenticity of the signatures.
