Remote Audits

Remote Audits are not new as Computer Assisted Audit Technologies (CAAT) has been a part of the scheme for several years.

What is a Remote Audit?

A remote audit is the same as an on-site audit, but the Audit Team and the Organization being audited engage via technology. Audit Objectives are achieved with document and record review, facility tours, interviews with personnel, and opening / closing meetings by the use of various video platforms:

  • Live web streaming technology such as Webex, Zoom, MS Teams, GotoWebinar
  • Live streaming paired with mobile technology such as a smartphone or tablet with video capabilities (e.g. WhatsApp, Skype or Facetime)
  • Confidently share information, securely and safely

Standards International works with you in advance of the audit to ensure underlying technology is in place and compatible.
