Signatures
The signature represents acceptance of responsibility for the disclosure as a whole.
Disclosures support a single signatory. Responsibility is not split or shared across multiple signers.
The signature is part of the issued artifact and is tied to the statement type and disclosure content.
Why the signature matters
The signature is the clearest signal that the document is being adopted as a whole by the signatory. It connects the person named in the signatory section to the full issued record.
What the signature does not do
The signature does not independently verify every fact in the document. It records acceptance of responsibility for the declaration as issued.
