What is a Remote Audit?

A remote audit, also known as a virtual audit, is the method of conducting an audit remotely, using electronic methods such as video conferencing, email, and telephone to obtain audit evidence, just like you would during an on-site audit.  

The overall aim is to evaluate this evidence objectively to determine the extent to which the audit criteria have been fulfilled. 

Our remote auditing service allows our technical experts to review documentation, conduct interviews and site tours using technology. Remote audits maintain the high standards of on-site audits while offering flexibility for businesses. They can be co-witnessed by multiple stakeholders within your business, who can also interact with auditors via a live stream.

FAQ's

Starting with your initial consultation with our ISO specialists and progressing through certification, the timeline can be as short as 15 days. However, the duration is contingent upon the size and complexity of your business. It's worth noting that we can often expedite the process and reduce costs by preparing the Documented Management System Manual on your behalf, which can also accelerate the certification for your business.

Following ISO 17021 guidelines, accredited certification bodies must provide certified organizations with certificates covering a 3-year certification cycle. Extensions beyond this timeframe are possible with the completion of necessary external audits and adherence to the certification cycle. ISO Certification, for instance, commonly issues certificates throughout a ten-year contract period.

At Company Certification, our dedication is to ensure that ISO certification remains cost-effective for all our clients. The expenses involved depend on various factors including your industry sector, annual turnover, number of employees, and other considerations.

ISO certification is reserved for organizational entities, and not for individual professionals.
