Desk audit

In audit management, a desk audit or desk review is a document review of an organization's documents.[1] These reviews which do not require interviews or activity observation, can be conducted at a remote desk.[1] Desk audits are conducted ahead of more costly thorough onsite process audits and system audits.[1]

Internal desk audits are conducted by the organization, typically in preparation for an external desk audits that are conducted by an outside organization, such as a registrar.[2]
