E-Auditing 

Electronic auditing, or e-auditing, is computer-assisted auditing that uses electronic records to complete part or all of your audit. This follows similar procedures as a traditional audit but using electronic means to remotely perform the audit. E-auditing is also known as Remote Auditing.

 

For any number of reasons, having an assessor physically inside your walls for an assessment can prove needless with certain types of audits. Of course, it’s preferable, if not mandatory, depending on the nature of the audit, but we’re also moving into a period of time where technology has enabled new types of audits that often don’t require their presence. 

​

This can be performed using video conferencing and screen sharing software including Google Hangouts, Skype, etc. All documents can be shared through Google Drive, Email or similar document sharing platforms.

 

Conducting an e-audit has many benefits including saving time, reduce the travel to remote regions, less paper required and, witnessing and tracking the audit in real-time.

Once your stage two assessment is verified and the process is complete, a 'Statement of Certification' is issued, confirming compliance with the relevant standard.

​

This certification is valid for a three-year period from the date of issue.

 

Regular surveillance assessments will be performed at a minimum of once every 12 months to maintain your certification.
