Applicability
Remote auditing is one of the audit methods described in ISO 19011:2018, Annex A1, and we apply it in accordance with IAF MD 4: Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing/Assessment Purposes.
The extent to which remote techniques can be used is determined case by case — based on the client, the standard being audited, and the risks involved. Some audits, or parts of an audit, require an on-site visit regardless of the technology available to us.
Digital audit
Wherever it's appropriate, we deliver audits remotely, using technology to make the process efficient without compromising its rigour. Through our Client Portal, you can access your audit planning, reports, certificates of approval and findings in one place.
