A good answer might be:

Carry In == Carry Out

With two's comp repn the result of addition is correct if the carry into the high order column is the same as the carry out of the high order column. The carry can be one or zero. Overflow is detected by comparing two bits, an easy thing to do with electronics. Here are some more examples:
