Virtual audits also known as Remote or Electronic audit is a process of verification of a company's financial data by competent professionals without face-to-face interaction with the help of the internet. All the information and financial records are exchanged using internet services.

During a remote audit or e-audit, an auditor performs an audit without being physically present at the site of the audited party (the auditee). Online tools are used to share and obtain evidence, taking into account the requirements and regulations applicable to the audit.

Organize each role and responsibility beforehand Non-verbal cues make it easier to know when to jump in, or when it's your time to cover a topic. In remote audits, this doesn't come naturally. Roles should be well-defined during preparation. Organization is critical.

An auditing career requires many competencies, including keen analytical skills, strong communication skills and technical proficiency with the subject matter under audit. Auditors play a key role in validating the integrity of an organization's processes, systems and information, both financial and non-financial.
