You can create and send documents for E-Signing through CapiSign. Using the feature, accountants can send documents such as Accounts Report, CT600 or any other important documents to their clients for electronic signatures. And it will also cover the client authorisation for the submissions to Companies House or HMRC.
Help/Guide:
- To send the documents you need to provide your clients with user access by adding them as a 'Client User' click here to see how to add a client User. You will need to create a password to which they can login to their secure environment with.
- Once the document is sent, the system will send an email to the client with a link which will redirect the client to Capium, where the client needs to log in and access the document.
- The document can be signed by double-clicking on the tags, a pop-up appears where the client can manually type in their name to sign.

Updates made of January 2022
When sending a Capisign document the reference field has now been changed to mandatory.
There are two key benefits of using the reference field:
1) This will allow the accountant to reference a specific document that needs to be signed
2) The reference field will be used within the audit log for Capisign document
To use the new audit log feature:
Navigate to 'Audit Log' > Click on the referenced document
This will give an overview of when and where the document was signed.
The aim is to eliminate confusion between accountants and clients regarding documents that need to be signed.
