Omnex Virtual Auditing 

Certification bodies are beginning to perform virtual audits! The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) has issued the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing and Assessment purposes which includes virtual auditing for third party certification. This is a great development for our industry and an opportunity to maintain and meet company goals, amidst these difficult times. 

Remote audits refer to using technology to gather information, interview an auditee when “face-to-face” methods are not possible or desired. Virtual Audits are systematic, independent, and documented for obtaining objective audit evidence to compare the audit criteria exclusively using electronic technology, e. g. cameras, software, hardware, internet and communications technology (phones, headsets).

Omnex audits are conducted remotely and our auditors need not work on-site with the auditee. Omnex respects and is committed to confidentiality. 

ISO 19011:2018, “Guidelines for auditing management systems”, describes how virtual audits can be conducted. It also defines a “virtual location”, where an organization can perform its activities or service using an online environment, allowing individuals irrespective of physical locations to execute processes.

Virtual auditing offers significant benefits:

• Process has International recognition and acceptance
• Same time-tested audit process that onsite audits use
• Cost savings, e.g., trip expenses
• Improved occupational health and safety for all participants
