Guidance and Best Practices for Virtual Auditing

Virtual auditing is an important tool to be considered in any company’s audit program. As such, convergence developed a practical guide (White Paper) related to the planning and executing of virtual audits. While it was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, the knowledge contained within still rings true even today.

convergence’s depth of experience in auditing, along with our 20+ years’ collective experience in virtual auditing techniques, give us the knowledge and expertise to lead this conversation.  

To the right is a short excerpt from the White Paper. To receive your free copy, please provide your name and email address below.

White Paper Excerpt: Four Things You’ll Learn About Virtual Auditing

With COVID-19 pushing us to reconsider every non-essential site visit, now more than ever, EHS professionals have an obligation to evaluate and demonstrate where and how virtual auditing can contribute to and indeed improve the organizational audit program.  The information provided in this Paper is intended to help you through the overall process: You’ll learn the working definition of “virtual audit,” and how to focus on deciding whether or not virtual audits fit with your audit program, as well as why organizations are undertaking them and what concerns and considerations must be kept in mind.  After that, the Paper addresses planning for virtual audits with six concrete steps to guide your team.  The final section addresses executing virtual audits, highlighting differences from site visit audits in the pre-audit, audit, and reporting phases.  Practical pointers and lessons learned are offered throughout the Paper to help you get your virtual audit program off to a smooth start.”
