- Can certification audits be done remotely?
- How can we audit manufacturing sites remotely? What technologies can improve audit quality?- What role can remote audits play in supplier evaluation and development?
- How should sensitive data be handled during the audit? 
 
During the conference, standard owners, auditors and experts from the business world will explore and discuss these questions, thus providing a glimpse into the future of auditing. remAUDIT is the world's first conference on remote auditing.
