Synopsis

Remote auditing has been thrust into the limelight given the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. However, remote auditing has been around for well over a decade. Its popularity has been spurred by advances in technology and the globalization of economies. There has been an uptick in multi-site companies with operations scattered across the map and more small and medium-size enterprises engaged in international commerce.

The purpose of auditing is to verify the conformance of an organization’s processes and management system to defined requirements. Depending on the type of audit and the objective, the conformance criteria vary. The standard against which an audit may be conducted could be an organization’s own procedures and documented requirements; a management system standard such as ISO 9001, AS9100, or IATF 16949; customer-specified requirements; or government regulations.Even with the constraints of remote auditing, these results still need to be achieved. Audits help us to identify problems, risks, good practices, and opportunities to better serve our customers.

This book deals with the various aspects of remote auditing, including planning, risk assessment, logistical constraints, conducting the audit, and providing an informative audit report.

Chapters include:

• Remote Auditing Overview
• Identifying and Managing Risk
• Planning the Remote Audit
• Prepping for a Remote Audit
• Conducting a Remote Audit
• Writing the Audit Report
• Follow-Up and Future Planning
