Answer: Besides documentation audit (which you can send to the auditor before the audit local phase), other situations for remote audit should be evaluated by the auditor on a case by case scenario, considering the specific organizational context, identified risks and implementation methods applied, so it is not possible to point a proportion or rule. What I can say to you is that an auditor would keep remote audit to a minimum, because direct observations are one of the main resources for compliance verification (e.g., even when auditing teleworking the auditor can find some local evidences in the organization like systems access logs).
