Informing user of task completion

Hi,

I'm currently working through the accessibility of my registration system. The basic process of the system is:

1. Enter registration code and press register
2. Verification panel slides in
3. Press verify and the system checks with a server online
4. When this process has finished (be it due to success, finding a pirate code or failing to connection) the final view slides in
5. The user takes action based on the options available, in most cases just pressing OK

Now for much of the system, it's fairly straight forward in that you invoke an action and then the view changes, but with the verification, you press a button then have to wait for an undetermined time (often only 1-2 seconds). I'm wondering what the best way to inform of this completion is. I'm reluctant to put a sound in for everyone, as it often isn't a long wait, but I'd like to provide some way for visually impaired users to be informed that it is now on the last view. Would just posting an NSAccessibilityMovedNotification be the best solution (and should I technically be doing that with the other views that slide out anyway, as the button you press also slides out)?

Thanks
