This approach utilizes electronic methods such as video conferencing, email, and telephone to gather audit evidence, similar to how one would during an on-site audit. This is particularly beneficial for organizations striving to comply with AS9100 standards and achieve ISO certification.

Throughout the virtual audit process, the objectives remain the same as those of an on-site visit. Even regulators are adopting this trend, with some conducting remote audits or inspections under specific circumstances.

Goal of virtual auditing
The overall goal of a virtual audit is to evaluate evidence objectively to determine how well the audit criteria, including AS9100 standards and ISO certification, have been fulfilled. Remote audits leverage tools such as file and screen sharing, video conferencing through platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, and Go-To-Meeting, as well as live data analysis.
Advantages of Virtual Auditing
One of the advantages of a remote audit is the ability to allow auditors to receive and share data, review documentation and processes, conduct interviews, and make observations with auditees from all over the world without the need to commute to the audit site. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for organizations seeking AS9100 standards and ISO certification.
The utilization of technology allows audits, including those for AS9100 standards and ISO certification, to be carried out remotely, saving both time and money. Since data can be accessed from anywhere, such as a cloud portal, organizations are more likely to be engaged in the process when a set time is allocated for a remote audit activi
The utilization of technology allows audits, including those for AS9100 standards and ISO certification, to be carried out remotely, saving both time and money. Since data can be accessed from anywhere, such as a cloud portal, organizations are more likely to be engaged in the process when a set time is allocated for a remote audit activity. Additionally, they are less likely to be side-tracked or disturbed by any urgent work requests.
