No, it's possible for us to conduct a remote audit for you.
Traditional audits where our auditor visits the factory are always recommended. However, a remote audit allows the auditor to obtain a lot of useful information about the supplier's processes, systems, and capabilities for you (as well as things they're not doing so well at), providing fast and convenient answers.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, factories and countries are increasingly limiting access for visitors, so remote audits using video calling, email, photos, and phone interviews are a good workaround and complement on-site audits well.
