# What your signature is being asked to confirm

This article examines pressure to alter a report, confirm delivery or approve another person's prepared decision. It distinguishes receipt, verification, assessment, approval and decision-making powers, with separate attention to private companies and public service.

For workers, signatories, relatives helping them and anyone clarifying an instruction's contents.

Inside:

- How does receiving a document differ from confirming its facts?
- Why is “I did not check” different from “it did not happen”?
- How do correction, forecast and a convenient invented outcome differ?
- Why do public service, companies and contractors need distinct legal questions?
- Can a manager's assurance transfer responsibility for your signature?

All scenes are hypothetical. Signature effects, guilt, protected reporting and safe refusal are not determined. No universally protective qualification is offered. Immediate danger needs corresponding urgent assistance; legal position needs competent examination.
