A remote audit is an evaluation conducted partially or entirely without the physical presence of the auditor on-site.
It relies on the use of digital tools (videoconferencing, document sharing, virtual visits, etc.) to access evidence, interview employees, and observe processes.
A remote audit follows the same principles, requirements, and objectives as a traditional audit, namely:
-
Evaluate compliance,
-
Detect discrepancies,
-
Identify areas for improvement.
