As Melbourne Metro is moving to Stage 4 restrictions and Regional Victoria moving to Stage 3 restrictions, SAI Global Assurance has prepared the below guidance to support impacted businesses.
With our focus on protecting the health and safety for you, your staff and our employees, we have implemented processes and solutions to allow minimal disruptions to your operations.
We will continue to provide auditing and learning services remotely for all customers where possible. Onsite audits can continue where remote audits aren’t possible based on accreditation and scheme rules, this particularly applies for Food Audits. We understand some of our customers may fall into the category of an “essential” or a “suspended” industry, in which case we ask that you contact SAI Global if you have a booked audit that may be impacted.
Our auditors follow COVID Safe Work procedures and pre-audit checklists and will ensure these are completed for any onsite audits.
SAI Global Assurance has been conducting remote audits for many years. With the integration of smartphones and/or video/audio technology, we can facilitate a remote audit with the appropriate governance and quality of outcome you have come to expect from SAI Global.
It has never been as important as it is now for us to be able to maintain trust and confidence with our customers by ensuring business continuity and delivery of service. Adam Christensen, General Manager – ANZSEA (Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia)
3 Steps In Preparing For Your Remote Audit
Remote auditing is a flexible approach to keep your audit program on track and engage your team no matter where they are located.
3 steps to prepare include: Planning; Conducting the remote assessments; and Post Remote Audit.
We would like to express our gratitude for the professionalism and understanding shown by your Auditor during the recent “virtual” re-certification audit.
