We did remote audits before and continue to do them now.
We had actually started scaling down on-site work for audits, training and consulting about three years ago and reached 0% in November of last year.
I will admit I miss the travel and being there face to face and seeing the facility with my own eyes, however for us it was becoming very difficult to put this kind of stress on ourselves and our consultants - travel can wear one down and being away from family is really not all that good.
It takes a bit of planning and the requirements go on the facility to prepare their docs and upload, transfer, etc and then having them run a video tour as well - but there is nothing like doing an audit in your PJ's on the balcony overlooking for ocean.
