We view remote audits not only as an interim solution during the COVID-19 pandemic but as a viable alternative for the future. To this end, we have developed innovative strategies for all types of remote audits (investigator site, vendor and internal process audits) and continue to refine these based on experiences made during these challenging times. These strategies include decision trees to assess the feasibility of remote conduct and methods for conducting a modified form of source data review/verification when the traditional methods are not possible and/or direct remote access is not allowed by regulatory authorities.
