Abstract:
Remote auditing is another tool that auditors can use instead of onsite auditing. Reasons for using remote auditing can range from security concerns to
pandemics. The use of remote auditing must be justified and documented. Remote
auditing may be appropriate for auditees who do not require a physical site audit and
may be used in alternation with a physical audit for those auditees who have a good
history of compliance and quality. Remote auditing existed long before the current
pandemic. The process was not widespread, and when it was used, it was used at a
convenient time for the company, usually to save money or resources.
