Companies Registration Office annual-return signature checks
Ireland's Companies Registration Office used machine learning to check signatures on over 240,000 annual returns
Problem
Annual returns needed checks that signatures appeared in the required places before processing.
Approach
The department's Companies Registration Office used machine learning to scan digitised annual returns for signature placement. The department said every annual return received in 2022 passed through this facility. It reported processing efficiencies without quantifying time saved.
Results
Takeaway
The model checked signature placement. The disclosed volume did not establish its error rate or the authenticity of signatures.
